Find out what your bank is doing with your money and find a bank that invests aligned with your values. They only review U.S banks and credit unions currently. They pull together information from publicly reported data, financial institution websites, and surveys. You can check if your institution is certified as sustainable, if they invest in low-income communities, if they do small business lending, if it is women or minority-owned, and much more.
