Reading Co-operative Bank pays very competitive rates for all our products. But beyond the interest we pay you, we are also proud of the interest we show you. Reading Co-operative Bank, incorporated in 1886, is a progressive, one-stop, multi-branch, full-service financial institution for both personal and commercial banking.
The Reading Co-operative Bank was founded just after the end of the first decade of co-operative banking in the commonwealth. That banking system was revolutionary for its time: to enable the workingman to purchase home. Larger banks loaned substantial sums to businesses and people of prominence and means; the little man was unable to compete successfully for mortgage money in such a market.
The banks’ original commitment to the “workingman†has never changed; people continue to come to the Reading Co-operative Bank for home mortgages, home improvement, and other loans which help 21st-century working people live better lives. One of the first loans was given in 1887 to a woman. Throughout the Reading Co-operative Bank’s history, women have always had ready and equal access to loans. Mortgages continue to be the backbone of the bank, weathering widely divergent interest-rate fluctuations, recessions, inflation, and economic boom.
