The Cooperative Banks in the Group have a well-defined field of action in which they operate separately, yet not in an isolated manner, since cooperation within the group enables them all to access broader markets. Grupo Caja Rural can therefore provide the same services as banks and savings banks, while at the same time maintaining strong ties with its local environment.

The integration strategy adopted by Grupo Caja Rural follows the same steps as other similar cooperative banking systems with a long tradition in Europe, some of which are counted among the leading banking groups on the continent, such as Pohjola Bank in Finland, Österreichische Raiffeisenbanken in Austria, Crédit Agricole in France and Volksbanken-Raiffeisenbanken in Germany.

At present, the 3o Cooperative Banks that constitute the Group make up the largest cooperative banking group in Spain, accounting for over 54% of the total volume of Cooperative Banks assets.
