What are Cooperative Banks?

Answer Posted / deepak

A co-operative bank is a financial entity which belongs to its members, who are at the same time the owners and the customers of their bank. Co-operative banks are often created by persons belonging to the same local or professional community or sharing a common interest. Co-operative banks generally provide their members with a wide range of banking and financial services (loans, deposits, banking accounts, etc).

They provide limited banking products and are specialists in agriculture-related products.

Cooperative banks are the primary financiers of agricultural activities, some small-scale industries and self-employed workers.

Co-operative banks function on the basis of "no-profit no-loss".

Anyonya Co-operative Bank Limited (ACBL) is the first co-operative bank in India located in the city of Vadodara in Gujarat.
