The Co-operative Bank has introduced a competition to commemorate ten years as the UK’s leading charity banking provider.
The bank has announced a prize draw offering a £10,000 award. Eligible new and existing customers maintaining a minimum balance of £5,000 in a qualifying account by 31 July 2025 will be automatically entered into the draw, with one organisation set to receive the prize.
The draw is open to customers of the charity and community account – previously known as the Community DirectPlus Account – which offers free everyday banking to registered charities, co-operatives, community interest companies and credit unions.
The competition celebrates The Co-operative Bank’s achievement of being named Best Charity Banking Provider for the tenth consecutive year at the 2025 Business Moneyfacts Awards.
James Wall, head of charity banking at the Co-operative Bank, said: “As the original ethical bank, we’re experts in supporting charities, co-operatives and organisations in the social enterprise sector to make a difference in their communities, and our 10 consecutive years of awards evidences that we’re the best at what we do. This is a fantastic time to make the switch to The Co-operative Bank, and be in with a chance of winning an incredible £10,000.”
