Beneficial State Bank

Fossil Free Certification

Your bank is a leader in climate responsibility.

Beneficial State Bank is a community development financial institution (CDFI), based in Oakland, California. CDFIs operate with a primary mission of serving low-income communities and providing financial services to underserved populations and markets.

As a certified B Corporation, it is committed to a triple bottom line of economic, social, and environmental impact. And as a member of the Global Alliance of Banking Values, it has committed to using finance as a tool for sustainable development and positive social and environmental impact, rather than solely profit maximization.

The bank does not provide lending to the fossil fuel sector and has a clear policy to that effect. It offers green products and has put in place robust governance over climate risks.

Bank.Green was founded on the belief that banks have had an easy time from their customers for too long.

Our mission is to encourage as many people as possible to take a stand - to refuse to let their money fuel environmental destruction any longer. Considering who you bank with, we think you probably agree. This is your chance to spread the word with us.
