Working with Decision-Makers

The EACB supports a legislative and regulatory environment based on better regulation principles that fits and respects the co-operative banks business model; it  voices the specificities of its members in order to enhance the diversity and the plurality of the European banking industry for the benefit of Europe’s citizens and small businesses.

Promoting Co-operative Values

The EACB  supports and promotes the values of the co-operative business model in European and international institutions. Central to these values are the principle of democracy – with the principle of “one person-one vote” at its core materialized by the co-operative share; a strong commitment to social values; and links with 65,000 bank branches – as an alternative to “shareholder value model” and financial markets-oriented institutions.

Commitment

The EACB is fully committed to defending and promoting the unique qualities and values of the co-operative banks on behalf of its members in the European and international institutions. It is recognized as the official voice of co-operative banks at European and International level .by policy makers and regulators.

Delivering Value-Added Services

The EACB’s concentions, seminars, workshops, publications and information allow its members and other co-operative organisations to increase their awareness and knowledge of European issues, keep them up to date with legislative and regulatory developments and offer them a platform to develop co-operation.
