Here is a statement from us, the independent Customer Union for @CooperativeBank customers, in response to recent news stories on the Co-op Bank, Rose West and a feminist organisation that the bank refused services to back in 2017.

I choose to bank with the @CooperativeBank precisely because it chooses it's customers and avoids arms dealers. The new rules are alarming. Should I resort to money under the mattress if I have morals? saveourbank.coop/farage-bank… #NigelFarage @SaveOurBank

As @saveourbank has presciently warned, this is a serious attack on the business model of banks like the Co-Op Bank.

I have for years chosen my banks on ethical grounds, including the Co-op bank for quite specifically denying banking to activities I do not like. Is it now being said that they must stop doing this? What sort of ethic requires unethical behaviour?

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.

Molly, no one is joining the dots... If major companies are put in a position where they cannot pick and choose based on their values, how long do you think sustainability will last when the challenges come in from fossil fuel companies etc to banks that actively oppose them

Very good points here. Ethical banks like the Co-Op Bank can and do refuse banking services to people and organisations whose beliefs or business lines don't fit with the bank's ethical policies. The furore over Farage's banking threatens these banks' business models.

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!
