Is Bank.Green good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• ESG / Green Financing - app / website

• How big banks are continuing to fuel climate disaster

• S&P cuts First Republic deeper into junk, says $30 billion infusion may not solve problems

  They’re also one of the biggest banks that is favorably rated by bank.green, so I also hope they can stay afloat. It’s a shame to hear that people are getting spooked into moving funds from a bank trying to do the right thing to big banks that fund fossil fuel projects with reckless abandon.

• Anyone with An Post Money?

  I came across bank.green and checked out how BOI were doing and it wasn't the best. An Post Money on the other hand seem to be doing really well. Is there anyone on here with them and if so how do you find their service? I tried ringing them today and got cut off twice so I'm not too impressed by their customer service so far.

• Letter: The AMS is using your student fees to fund fossil fuels

  I am not opposed to divestment and I'm usually far more likely to criticize the AMS, but I think the authors of this letter need a reality check. Virtually all large banks in Canada are implicated in funding fossil fuels. It's unfortunate to say the least. Source: over 2 years ago

• Any better bank in York to keep your money in?

  I've found Monzo to generally be quite good, and got a Nationwide account for things like a credit card and better savings account - while an old school bank, they've been helpful whenever I've needed a hand with something. I chose them based on positive reviews, and how they conduct themselves ethically - in recent years I've come to appreciate the value of a bank's commitments, how much it sticks to those, and...
