Review of the Triodos Bank, Current Account:

Ethics & fairness for all

5
The most critical thing to praise Triodos on is their ethics - you know that your money is not going to be invested in many of the causes that, if people knew, they would absolutely want to avoid. This is what makes Triodos stand apart. Secondly, the unusual thing about Triodos is that everybody has to pay to have a current account, £3 per month, but you know what... that is much more fair to all customers as running a bank account is not cost free. So, at Triodos there is none of the big cross-subsidising we see at the traditional banks where better-off customers are in effect subsidised at the expense of the difficulties of those who are overdrawn & potentially being charged a staggering 39.9% interest on their borrowings.

Beautifully designed and well-managed approach to risk

5
Wealthify offers a fantastic service. I have never before encountered a service that tests one's attitude to risk so fully before an investment is made. I was impressed because it recommended, based on my risk answers, that I choose a lower risk portfolio which I then did. The other things I love about Wealthify are: a) the ability to choose an ethical portfolio option; b) such a well set out online dashboard that is easy to navigate; c) a low cost way of creating a portfolio that gets rebalanced without having to pay a wealth manager or IFA; d) wonderfully helpful, knowledgeable & friendly customer service team. All in all, a highly efficient and cost-effective way of investing (ethically) without too much effort, backed by good service & an easy to navigate platform. Reviewed on: 8th March 2021
