Ethical banking 'on the up'
According to the year-end data, 65 per cent more people took out a current account with the Co-op than did so in 2007.
Personal savings and customer loan lending showed impressive growth, up 40 per cent and 15 per cent respectively on the year.
Net lending was also revealed to have grown by £3.8 billion from 1992 to 2008.
The Co-op unveiled the results of its fifth Ethical Policy survey today, which saw customers questioned on which companies they wanted to see the bank cease dealings with.
As a result of the poll, the firm will now no longer work with firms involved in global warming-promoting biofuels and in those involved in the exploitation of great apes.
David Anderson, the Co-op's chief executive, commented: "Never has it been more important that responsible lending is prudent lending and I'm pleased to say that the Co-operative Bank's Ethical Policy has stood us in good stead for more than 15 years now."
