Over 115,000 New Zealanders will receive a welcomed addition to their bank accounts today as The Co-operative Bank
shares its annual rebates pay out. This year’s $2.1 million rebate takes the total amount of profits the Bank has shared
with its customers since 2013 to more than $12 million.
The rebate exemplifies The Co-operative Bank’s ongoing commitment to “doing right” by New Zealanders – and comes in the
wake of a recent brand refresh, designed to better reflect how as a Co-operative, they are a bank that can also be a
little “unbanky” too.
David Cunningham, CEO of The Co-operative Bank says both initiatives signify The Co-operative Bank’s commitment in
delivering for its customers and adapting to their changing needs.
“Our customers are at the heart of The Co-operative Bank, in fact, they own it. Sharing our success with the people that
help us grow is not only the right thing to do, it also brings us joy to give back to New Zealanders and local
communities nationwide.”
“It’s important for us to stay connected, approachable and relevant to our incredible customer community. Our bold new
brand is a better reflection of our core values, bringing to life our passion for making people’s everyday lives
easier,” he adds.
“As the only bank in New Zealand to share its profits with customers, we’re proud to continue to do right by Kiwis,”
concludes Cunningham.
The remainder of the Bank’s annual profit is reinvested to fund continued growth, and to develop new products and
services for its customers, further helping them to provide an industry leading customer experience.
