What is a not-for-profit bank?

Most banks seek profits for their own good and to pay their investors and executives bonuses.

Members (people who save and borrow with us) own our bank as a cooperative.

Any 'profits' we make are called surpluses. Surpluses are invested in the local community to create a fair socio-economic system.

Investors? Shareholders? No thanks

Unlike many high street banks, we don't have greedy shareholders or faceless investors.

All of the money we earn is used in pursuing the groups social objectives of fair, ethical and affordable-finance.

Inclusive not exclsuive

Unlike most banks, we don't pick and choose who can bank with us based on employment status, financial capability, social status or any other pre-judgement.

We don't base your Membership on how much you are worth to the bank.

We believe everyone is equal.

Local money which stays in the local economy

Evidence show that circa 86% of all loans we issue are used for purchases locally within our common-bond.

This supports local businesses, employment and keeps local money moving in a micro-economic way which supports our communities.
