The European Association of Co-operative Banks (EACB) is a Brussels-based organization that represents, promotes, and defends the interests of its 27 member cooperative banks in relation to banking policy and cooperative legislation. Founded in 1970, it functions as a professional lobbying body within the European banking sector, providing a collective voice for its members.

Cooperative banks underpin a significant portion of Europe’s financial system, with thousands of local institutions and tens of thousands of outlets serving hundreds of millions of customers; the broader cooperative banking sector spans millions of members and hundreds of thousands of employees, and the EACB coordinates advocacy on their behalf. In March 2026, the association participated in the COBA CEO and Director Forum 2026 in Sydney, illustrating ongoing engagement with international peers.
