The European Association of Co-operative Banks (EACB) represents one of the leading banking groups in Europe for more than thirty years. The membership of the association comprises cooperative banking groups from 23 European countries including Central and Eastern European countries. With 45 million members, the EACB serves 130 million customers in more than 60,000 business points. Supported by 700,000 employees, EACB members hold a market share of around 20% in the European Union.
The mission of the EACB is to represent and promote the interests of its members and co-operative banks in general. It lobbies the European insitutions and informs its members of relevant European initiatives susceptible of impacting the banking sector. It also develops common positions (in the form of 'position papers') on European policy issues.
