The Problem: Your bank is funding oil pipelines. Since the Paris Agreement was signed, banks have pumped over £4.4 trillion into the fossil fuel industry. The Solution: Switch to a green bank & move your money out of fossil fuel support for good. We have ranked all UK current account providers against our stringent criteria and have identified a number of truly green banks you can trust. The Impact: Together, we will move £7 billion out of fossil fuel support this year. “Our switchers' actions, at scale, will force banks to change policies in response to consumer demand - shifting priorities away from environmentally destructive projects, and towards those that will support a sustainable future” - Sophie Cowen, Co-Founder - Switch It Green

Steps this helps you take.
Choosing a sustainable bank means that your money is doing good and supports the causes you care about while you are asleep. Legacy banks use your money to finance planetary destruction by lending money to evil industries like the fossil fuel, meat and dairy, or weapon industry. Sustainable banks only invest in industries that make the planet and our societies thrive. They invest in renewable energy and other impact industries. Switching your bank is one of the most impactful and easiest climate actions available, that most people don't have on their radar.
Investing in green funds directs your capital towards sustainable initiatives, such as renewable energy projects and eco-friendly businesses, fostering innovation and driving positive environmental change.
Speak up and get others to join in taking action. It's one of the quickest and most effective ways to make a difference. Talk to your neighbors, colleagues, friends, and family. Let business owners know you support bold changes. Appeal to local and world leaders to act now. Climate action is a task for all of us. And it concerns all of us. No one can do it all alone – but we can do it together.
