A cooperative bank is a place where clients are shareholders and as such take advantage of the added value created by their company!

Alain Declercq President of the Board of Management, CPH Banque - Belgium

The ‘added value’ of popular and cooperative banks is represented by their special relationship with their clients/members. Being banks with people at the centre of their business and linked to the territories where they operate, popular and cooperative banks are able to develop the relations of mutual support between credit, business and civil society: an essential condition for building the economic recovery.
