Review of the Triodos Bank, Ethical Investments:

View on product page

Who cares? Not Barclays. Changing 40 years of habit.

After banking with Barclays for almost 40 years (since starting a student account), it was high time I (as a "valued customer") challenge them on their appalling sustainability record. I wanted reassurance and that they could back up their sustainability claims with evidence. After all, I want my savings to be used ethically and sustainably. But despite multiple contacts and enquiries, I heard nothing back and decided to I put my money where my mouth is. After shortlisting a few sustainable banks, Triodos came top to me and I moved my savings to an Ethical Investment plan. I have since opened up further sustainable banking products with Triodos and I urge everyone to challenge your existing bank and if they cannot back up their claims, move your money where it will do good.
