Caixa Rural Galega, Sociedad Cooperativa de Crédito Limitada Gallega is a Galician cooperative bank founded in 1966 in Lugo, where it keeps its headquarters. It is owned by about 15.000 members (2016) and is considered the only galician financial institution that is wholly locally owned since all other banks and savings banks were sold or merged in the last decade: Caixa Galicia, Caixanova and Banco Etcheverría (now Abanca), Banco Pastor (sold first to Banco Popular and then to Banco Santander) or Banco Gallego (now Sabadell).
