There are tons of great banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions out there that are committed to a fossil-free future. We’re still adding more institutions every day.
You can reach out to your bank, credit union, or financial institution urging them to commit to never financing fossil fuels and inviting them to participate in Bank for Good.
Hi,
I’ve been banking with [institution name] for [number] years, and I value the relationship we’ve built. As part of reviewing my personal finances, I’m taking a closer look at how different financial institutions approach long-term sustainability and responsible lending.
Could you share whether [institution name] has any published policies or commitments related to the types of industries it finances, particularly around energy and infrastructure? I’m trying to understand how my deposits support different parts of the economy, and transparency on this would be helpful.
If [institution name] has publicly available information or reports in this area, I’d appreciate being pointed to them.
There’s also a resource called Bank for Good – www.bankforgood.org – that helps consumers understand the landscape of financial institutions and their various practices. If helpful, more information is available at www.bankforgood.org or at info [at] bankforgood.org.
Thank you for your time,
[Your Name]
