Coventry Building Society in talks to acquire The Co-operative Bank for £780m, potentially creating a £89bn combined group.

Coventry Building Society is in talks to acquire The Co-operative Bank for £780m, potentially creating a combined group with a balance sheet of £89bn and a significant presence in the mortgage and savings market. The acquisition, if successful, would return Co-op Bank to mutual ownership and offer its 3 million customers the opportunity to become members of Coventry Building Society. There is no guarantee that the acquisition will occur, as both parties are still working on the arrangements.
