About CIFA

The Co-operative Independant Financial Advisors (CIFA) is a brand name of The Co-operative Bank Financial Advisers Limited (CBFA), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Co-operative Bank p.l.c. and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

We're one of the UK's leading Independent Financial Advisers and as part of The Co-operative Bank, we share their co-operative values and ethical policy.

Our professional financial advisers are here to give you the best financial advice for your life and your circumstances, whether you want a full financial review or just some general advice. Make an appointment with one of our independent financial advisors.

Here's how we do business:

Independent advice

We share the Co-operative Bank's name and its values, but unlike some other financial advisers, we are completely independent. This means we can search more products to find the right one for you.

Ethical

We're part of The Co-operative Bank, the only UK clearing bank with an Ethical policy. This means that the Bank will never invest in companies that pursue profits at the expense of their social and environmental responsibilities.

We are one of the few IFAs in the country to ask every customer about whether they have any ethical views they'd like us to bear in mind.

Partnership approach

At CIFA we don't believe there's such a thing as a quick financial fix.

We build long-term relationships with our customers so we can get a better understanding of your requirements and give you the best financial advice for your future.
