Our Purpose
Do you know who the consumers are in your community? We believe data-driven strategies are the keys to unlocking meaningful financial potential and long-term success.

Through insightful analytics, industry expertise, and outcome-based strategies, we help to create lasting opportunities for communities to thrive and prosper.
Who we are
Coopera (ko-pair-ah) means "cooperate" in Spanish.
Coopera is a data analytics and consulting firm focused on helping organizations better serve their communities. We partner with financial institutions and other organizations across the U.S. to assess their unique needs and develop growth strategies that drive overall membership, revenue, and loan volume. Our solutions guide organizations in shifting their internal culture to embrace emerging markets and fully realize the opportunities they offer.
Rooted in the credit union movement, Coopera is committed to helping organizations stay true to their cooperative mission while expanding into new markets and creating meaningful opportunities for all.
Founded in 2006 by the late Hispanic community activist Warren Morrow, Coopera is owned by Affiliates Management Company (AMC), and is headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa.
Originally focused on helping organizations expand into Hispanic markets, Coopera has evolved with the changing landscape. Today, we offer expanded analytics services that support growth into a wide range of emerging consumer segments in the U.S.
