Social enterprise

Investing in a stronger, healthier and more stable society

The bank has a long history of investment and support for social businesses, and over the years has extended a great deal of support to co-operatives and credit unions.

We do this because we know our customers want to see their money being used to support organisations or charities that are run for the good of the community (often referred to as 'social enterprises').

Our policy on social enterprise

We will seek to support charities and the broad range of organisations which make up the Social Enterprise sector, including:

• co-operatives;
• credit unions;
• community finance initiatives.
