Bank Well

Influencing 100 high-wealth, high-influence churches to switch to an ethical bank.

A rapid shift away from fossil fuels is required, but governments, banks, and oil giants are not reacting.

Many banks profit from investments in the fossil fuel expansion. In the 9 years since the Paris Agreement, the world’s 60 biggest banks have put $7.9 trillion into the fossil fuel industry.

Bank Well exists to help churches steward their money safely and sustainably, helping churches move their money away from banks that finance fossil fuels and into positive change.

The Strategy

Churches leading the way

We believe churches are influential organisations that should lead the way on divestment from fossil fuels. Therefore, our aim is to support an advocate for churches to use fossil-free banks with ethical investments.

Our strategy involves:

  • Working with a few high-profile churches

  • Demonstrating the importance and feasibility of switching

  • Growing impact through targeting churches with significant wealth

We'd love to have your help.

Get on board by filling out the below survey. You can:

  • Share your experience

  • Organise an event at your church or workplace

  • Review your options for ethical banking

  • Join us to persuade your church to switch bank
