Break The Bank Campaign
With all the dodgy dealings and financial problems over the past year it’s difficult to know who you can trust with your money. The global banks are not your only option, why not switch your account to an ethical bank?
What is an ethical bank?
Ethical banks – including Triodos Bank, the Charity Bank and the Co-operative Bank – are breaking the financial mould, with a more progressive approach that values people and planet as well as profit. Ethical savers benefit from a ‘dual return’. As well as the interest they earn from their savings, they know that they’ve made an investment for good, and their money’s working in a way that they’re proud of.
The Break The Bank Campaign is an opportunity for you to do something to make a difference. it’s very simple.
- Select an ethical bank (yes, they do exist) either by searching online or following this link to Ethical Junction’s ethical finance directory > > >
- Close your existing bank account and open one with your chosen ethical bank.
- Send an email to info@ethical-junction.org with the following words in the Subject line:
I broke the bank at [name of your old bank] and joined [name of your new bank]
We will then add up all the banks that have been left and all the banks joined and publish the results on 1 May 2009.
Enjoy making a difference today!
