We care about making a positive difference. That’s why we’re really proud to be certified B Corporation.

As a mutual, we’ve always acted in the wider interest, making sure that the work we do benefits the many, not the few. Now we’re B Corp certified, we’re part of a community of businesses from around the world that are doing things differently to meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

What is a B Corp?

Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. There’s a rigorous assessment process and becoming B Corp certified is just the beginning of a journey of continuous improvement.

To maintain certification, B Corps are re-assessed by B Lab’s standards every three years.

Here’s why being a B Corp matters…

To our customers

When you borrow or save with us, you’re choosing more than the right rate. You’re choosing a business that seeks to be a force for good to benefit people, communities and the environment.
