Free business banking with The Co‑operative Bank

Banking for co‑operatives

Through our partnership with The Co-operative Bank we are pleased to signpost to the Community Directplus Account, which is FREE to co‑operatives:

• Free everyday banking
• The opportunity to apply for project funding from our Customer Donation Fund
• The only UK bank with a customer-led Ethical Policy.

The Co-operative Bank reserves the right to review the account tariff for customers whose credit turnover exceeds £1m per annum, who deposit more than £100,000 cash per annum, or who deposit more than 5,000 cheques per annum.

Before you apply for a bank account, your co-operative needs to be registered. Make sure you have:

• Worked through the start a new co-op step-by-step process.
• Used our digital tool to register your co-op.
