Coventry Building Society gets approval to buy Co-op Bank for £780M, creating a £89B asset giant.

Coventry Building Society has received regulatory approval to acquire Co-op Bank for £780 million, creating a banking giant with around £89 billion in assets and millions of customers. The deal, set to complete in January 2025, will return Co-op Bank to a mutual structure, owned by individual members rather than shareholders. Both brands will remain on the high street during the transition, with the goal of eventually making Co-op Bank customers Coventry society members.
