Champlain National Bank

It is unlikely that your money is funding the fossil fuel crisis

Champlain National Bank is a community bank that has been serving customers in the northeastern US through 10 branch locations for over a century. Founded in 1909, the bank offers a range of personal and business banking services, including checking and savings accounts, mortgages, business loans, and digital banking solutions.

The bank has limited commercial lending and it only serves small and medium-sized businesses. On this basis, the probability of your money funding the climate crisis is very low.

However, Champlain can do better. We would like to see it measure and disclosure greenhouse gas emissions associated with its lending, set a clear policy that it will not lend to fossil fuel companies and start offering "green" products to incentivize environmentally-friendly behaviors.

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.
