The Cooperative Bank

The Cooperative Bank is a Boston-based bank that brands itself as Boston’s Neighborhood Bank and says it is “Boston Proud.” It describes its approach as built on relationships, with a belief in the power of lifetime relationships and old-fashioned service. This listing comes from Roslindale Village Main Street, and the bank says it is proud to be part of the neighborhoods it serves.

The bank highlights recent commercial transactions on its website, including an equipment line of credit, construction financing for three condominium units built for sale, construction of a single-family home for sale and a line of credit for investment properties. Throughout the year, its team supports local events, nonprofits and celebrations that bring the community together, and it lists the community partners it backs.
