Switch to a greener bank

Tips and inspiration

Why is this action beneficial?

Changing where your money goes is one of the most impactful individual actions you can take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By switching to a greener bank, you can help to grow climate solutions such as renewable energy.

Choosing a climate-friendly bank means your savings won’t contribute to cutting down forests. Instead, you could help fund environmental projects that protect trees and wildlife.

Understanding how banks use your money can help you to make financial choices that align with your values.

Environmentally responsible banks don’t just fund climate solutions, many also support grassroots community projects and organisations that have a positive impact on people. When choosing a new bank, check to see if they invest in projects that align with your values.
