Merkur Cooperative Bank
Merkur Cooperative Bank has been a forerunner of sustainable development and social responsibility in the Danish banking sector since 1982. At Merkur, you get the service and products you normally would expect from a bank. But you also get a lot more. Merkur gives and facilitates financial advice and financing to both personal and business customers. On the business side, they finance profit-making enterprises, and not-for-profit institutions and associations in cultural and social sectors. It is Denmark’s most transparent financial institution. The overall criteria and guidelines for the bank’s activities are publicly available so that everyone can see to which end their money is being lent out. Furthermore, the bank is mainly owned by its customers. Merkur is also a founding member of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV).
