It's an advertising slogan...
and the solution should imply that the bank " é um banco e que, além de atender todas as necessidades financeiras de seus clientes, mantém um compromisso de ética, transparência e responsabilidade com esses clientes, com a sociedade, as comunidades, o meio ambiente, o governo, os acionistas, enfim, com todos os seus interlocutores.
I'm hoping for some inspiration for a solution that says all that in two or three words....
suggestions much appreciated....

All-in-one bank; XYZ all-in-one bank
thought of this as a sugg., though seee this Canadian bank uses it as a system title. It doesn't imply an ethical stance or anything, though. Will have another think...!

a full-service bank
Dictionary.com has it hyphenated. There are lots of examples on the web of this wording used in marketing slogans for financial service providers. I don't think this really addresses the whole universal description in your question, though.

The Compleat Bank
Thought I'd throw this suggestion out there, since you're hunting for a catchy slogan. I'm not sure it's the answer, but for what it's worth...
For a discussion of the form "compleat" here's one site:
http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19970303
I'm sure there are others. Good luck.

A universal bank
Or possibly "a comprehensive bank".
Or, to take it a step further:
"a universal banking experience"
"a comprehensive banking experience"
One these could neatly convey the idea of the bank's commitment to social/environmental responsibility, etc. in addition to its standard banking services.
But... I'm putting medium confidence since Rachel's question (about the exact wording of the PT slogan) seems to be key in making a good decision (about the exact wording of an EN slogan).
If this isn't exactly what you're looking for, maybe it will at least spark another good idea... good luck!

Have you thought of posting this same question under English monolingual? You may get a lot of useful suggestions there.

A neat slogan would be cool, but so would ideas on "completo" .
Best,
