The European Association of Co-operative Banks (EACB)^[1] is a European interest group representing cooperative banks in the European Union (EU) and five non-European countries. Established in 1970, the non-profit association "represents, promotes and defends"^[2] the common interests of its 27 member institutions and 2.500 cooperative banks regarding banking as well as cooperative legislation.

Based in Brussels, the EACB is recognised as a key spokesperson for cooperative banks by regulators and supervisors at EU and international levels. As the representative of the world's largest cooperative banking cluster, it works together with more than 200 experts from its member organisations to substantiate the key role that cooperative banks play in the financial and economic system, and its impact value for its members, the economy as a whole and society at large.

The EACB supports the code of conduct on lobbying of the European Commission and is registered in the EU transparency register book^[3] (Transparency Book Register 4172526951-19).
