Abstract

Outsourcing in cooperative banking can, for the most part, be analysed by way of responding to three significant questions. These questions are as follows:
  1. (I)

    For what ‘reasons’, and in what areas, is outsourcing used by particular banks and financial intermediaries, according to the main literature on this subject and the most significant practices described therein?

     
  2. (II)

    What are the guidelines for ‘good’ outsourcing, aimed at creating value according to safe and sound principles?

     
  3. (III)

    What are the opportunities and risks of outsourcing policies fol-lowed by cooperative banks?
