We are committed to highlighting financial institutions that invest in communities and expand access to economic opportunity. This includes institutions that serve underrepresented communities as well as those with missions focused on community development and responsible banking.
Many of the institutions featured here also hold recognized certifications or designations, such as B-Corp certification, Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) status, or membership in the Global Alliance for Banking on Values (GABV).
The list of institutions will continue to grow as additional banks are evaluated through the independent Bank.Green dataset used in this tool. If you believe a bank or credit union should be included, you can suggest it and we will share the information with the Bank.Green research team for review.
We use the term “banking” as a short way to talk about all the types of activities people do at banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions, like maintaining deposit accounts, taking out a loan, or opening a credit card.
