Our Business Service Experience
Cooperative Federal has provided financial services to small businesses since 1982. We specialize in serving small business or “micro-enterprise”, cooperatives and nonprofits.
Businesses with income under a million dollars a year are ignored or neglected by most commercial banks — but not Cooperative Federal! We're committed to small businesses, and have a comprehensive small business program. Our program offers education and support services, as well as accounts and loans.
