Your money is unlikely to be funding the climate crisis.
Columbia Bank is a community-focused financial institution that is headquartered in New Jersey and serves the needs of customers in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Most of its commercial lending is to small and medium-sized businesses, so the probability of your money funding the fossil fuel industry is very low.
We would like to see the bank measure greenhouse gas emissions enabled by its lending, set emission reduction targets, put in place a policy stating it will not lend to the fossil fuel industry and start offering "green" products.
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.
Banks live and die on their reputations. Mass movements of money to fossil-free competitors puts those reputations at grave risk. By moving your money to a sustainable financial institution, you will:
Send a message to your bank that it must defund fossil fuels
Join a fast-growing movement of consumers standing up for their future
Take a critical climate action with profound effects
