Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Iowa State Bank is a community bank that serves customers in Iowa. Founded in 1928, the bank has grown to have multiple locations throughout the state, including in the Des Moines area and Northwest Iowa. The bank offers a full suite of personal and business banking products and services, and is committed to supporting the local communities it serves.
As Iowa State Bank only lends to small businesses, it is highly unlikely that your money is funding the fossil fuel sector. We would like to see Sharonview have an explicit policy on not lending to fossil fuel companies and we would like it to start offering green products such as preferential rates for energy-efficient homes.
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
