The Co-Operative Bank has expanded its charity and social enterprise operations into Scotland. 

The bank has set up a new team based in Scotland and doubled its operation in the north of England.

Debbie Wheeler, head of charity and social enterprise banking team said: “Our ethical approach and the commitments we make to society as a co-operative have long been aligned to the voluntary sector.

“This expansion now provides the platform for the bank to become a major force in banking to charities and social enterprises”.

The new Scottish-based teams will be based in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
