A career that really makes a difference

Who we are:

Formed in 1872 in Victorian Rochdale, our bank was built on co-operative values that still stand today. A lot has happened in 150 years, and we've been there through it all. Not just helping people with their money, but helping people fight for justice and the causes they care about.

We are the only UK high street bank with a customer-led Ethical Policy; one of the main reasons our customers choose to bank with.

We are the bank for people with purpose.

From supporting local communities to tackling climate change, all our colleagues and customers have a say in who we are and how we do business.

Ethical then, ethical now, ethical always.

We understand that banking in a branch is all about the customer experience. What our customers see, hear and feel and is not just simply a transaction. That's why Moneyfacts have awarded us the 'Branch Network of the Year' several times.
