BANK GREEN

Bank Green is an environmental-focused banking project operated as part of Empowerment Works Inc. It positions itself as an ethical, climate-conscious alternative to traditional banks by promoting fossil-fuel divestment and sustainable finance. The initiative was founded in late 2020 by a small team including Albert Carter, Ilias Ism, Neil Simpson, and Zak Gottlieb, who describe Bank Green as a vehicle to raise awareness about climate finance and to encourage consumers to switch to greener banking options. The project emphasizes transparency about how money is used and encourages customers to advocate for defunding fossil-fuel projects. (bank.green)
