Green Banks

An old cash register with push keys, frontal, close-up, bit dirty

Santander, JP Morgan Chase, NatWest, the Bank of Scotland, Halifax, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds Bank all have one thing in common – they will put the money in your savings and current accounts to work funding the fossil fuel industry, despite whatever pledges or Net Zero promises they have made.

By switching bank accounts to Triodos, the Co-operative or Nationwide, you would be keeping your money clean. According to Which?, if you switch to Nationwide now, you would be given a £200 welcome bonus.

Otherwise you could also choose from Monzo, Starling, Metro Bank, TSB or Virgin Money and your money would still be reasonably safe.
