Introduction

Co-Opbank Pertama (“CBP”) was founded on 7 June 1950 under its original name “The Province Wellesley Co-operative Banking Union Limited”. CBP is a cooperative organisation established under the Co-operatives Act 1993.

In 2014, CBP was acknowledged as the first co-operative bank in Malaysia and the name was changed to Koperasi Co-opbank Persatuan Malaysia Berhad or “Coopbank Persatuan”. The 59th Annual General Meeting of the Association on 29 April 2018 approved the amendment of the Undang-Undang Kecil (UUK) involving the change of name from Koperasi Co-opbank Persatuan Malaysia Berhad to Koperasi Co-opbank Pertama Malaysia Berhad or CBP.
