International Cooperative Agreements

 

Cooperation is in our DNA

Our willingness to connect across borders and share solutions to our common challenges is one of the great superpowers of our movement.

We work locally, but our collective efforts have a global impact.

International Cooperative Agreements provide a framework for your organization to support our global impact through deeper engagement with cooperative financial institutions around the world through:

  • A Commitment to longer-term engagement with your international peers and a solutions-focused workplan.

  • Peer-to-Peer learning through an operational deep dive and strategy insights.

  • Standardization & Replication of successful models, products, services and initiatives.
