Byline Bank
Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Byline only lends to companies with revenues of less than $100 million, so the probability of it financing the fossil fuel industry is low (although cannot be ruled out).
Byline is a laggard when it comes to climate responsibility. We would like to see it measure the greenhouse gas emissions impact of its lending, set science-based targets, provide transparency about sectors it finances and put in place an explicit policy stating that it will not lend to the fossil fuel industry.
We do not believe that achieving carbon neutrality by purchasing renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets is enough.
Bank.Green believes that mass movements will pull us out of the climate crisis – and they’ll pull your bank out, too.
We were 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. Join us in building this movement by pressuring your bank to do better, or by taking your money to somewhere that cares about our planet's future.
