Illustrator for Climate Action Nonprofit

About Us

Since the Paris Agreement, global banks have poured a staggering $6.9 trillion into the fossil fuel industry. At Bank.Green, our mission is to reduce this carbon footprint through technology and consumer action. We empower bank customers with the tools and insights they need to influence their banks towards sustainable lending or switch to greener alternatives. Our bank-checking tool has been used almost 500,000 times by customers worldwide, shifting at least £30 million to banks that are financing a greener future. Through transparency, engagement, and innovation, we aim to redefine the role of banks in the fight against climate change.
