Great news. As a union of C-op Bank customers, we consider this merger would align perfectly with our dual goals of preserving the Co-op Bank's world-leading ethical standards and steering it back towards some form of mutual or co-operative ownership.
Coventry Building Society agrees £780mn merger with Co-op Bank on.ft.com/3JmRyqT
More welcome news as the Co-op Bank enters exclusive merger talks with Coventry Building Society.
As we say in the @FT, a successful deal would align perfectly with our dual goals: preserving ethics & steering the bank towards #cooperative ownership.

Coventry Building Society has made an offer to buy The Co-operative Bank.
We are strongly supportive of any move that would bring the bank back under mutual ownership, which would be in line with our aims.

Pleased to see this! The Co-op Bank standing up for renters and rightly positioning as a #humanrights issue. This will resonate with a lot of bank customers.
✊ Having a safe and secure home is a human right.
That's why we've teamed up with @Shelter to campaign for a robust Renters Reform Bill.

Save Our Bank in @thetimes today defending the principle of ethical banking amid the fall-out of the Coutts/Farage affair - as well as the alarming & overlooked govt investigation into banks refusing finance to arms companies.

A much more important story than the Farage/Coutts affair, and a graver threat to the principle of #ethicalbanking. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
Our take on sections of the press and their manufactured outrage about banks turning away Farage and the arms industry.
As the powerful are presented as victims of "discrimination", the principle of ethical banking needs defending.

Banks can and should be able to turn away businesses (if not people) based on ethical considerations. The @CooperativeBank has done this for years, based on a strong customer mandate. Dangerous if this principle gets lost in the furore around Farage and Coutts!
