What’s the Difference between Rural Banks and Cooperative Banks?
What are Cooperative Banks in the Philippines?
Cooperative Banks provide banking, financial and credit services mainly to cooperatives and their members. They may also provide services to non-members, but their focus is on cooperatives and members.
Sometimes they’re also called Cooperative Rural Banks because they’re authorized to provide all services offered by rural banks. They can do the following:
- Grant loans to farmers, fishermen, farm families, cooperatives, merchants, and private and public employees
- Accept savings and time deposits
- Act as correspondent of other financial institutions
- Rediscount paper with the LBP, DBP or any other bank, including bank branches and agencies
- Act as collection agent
- Acquire readily marketable bonds and other debt securities
- Buy and sell foreign exchange
- Offer other banking services as provided in Section 53 of RA No. 8791 (The General Banking Law of 2000):
- Rent out safety deposit boxes
- Receive in custody funds, documents and valuable objects
- Make collections and payments for the account of others and perform other banking services for their customers
- Act as financial agent and buy and sell, by order of and for the account of their customers, shares, evidences of indebtedness and all types of securities
- With prior approval by the Monetary Board, act as managing agent, adviser, consultant or administrator of investment management/advisory/consultancy accounts
Functions of Cooperative Banks in the Philippines, according to RA 6938 (Cooperative Code)
- Provide banking and credit services to cooperatives
- Manage savings of its members for the benefit of cooperatives
- Issue negotiable instruments to facilitate the activities of cooperatives
- Discount bills and promissory notes issued and drawn by cooperatives

- Receive financial aid or loans from the Government and the BSP for and in behalf of cooperative banks and primary cooperatives and their federations engaged in business and to supervise the lending and collection of loans
