Maduro & Curiel's Bank

Your bank is failing on climate responsibility.

Maduro & Curiel's Bank and its subsidiary Caribbean Mercantile Bank N.V. have not disclosed any information on their lending practices or policies, so we cannot rule out they fund fossil fuel companies.

Maduro & Curiel's Bank does have lending to renewable energy projects and it offers "green" consumer products but we don't know how that compares to the amount of its fossil fuel lending, if any.

In addition, the bank is affiliated with the Bank of Nova Scotia of Toronto (Canada), one of the leading funders of fossil fuel expansion activities.

While you’ve been saving money for a home or a weekend get-away, your bank has likely been using your savings to lend to some very questionable fossil fuel friends.

Banks like this one have demonstrated that they're not interested in fighting in the climate crisis. While banks don't publish all of their lending information, we can see that this bank has positioned itself well to fund fossil fuels. We can also see its lack of interest in doing climate-positive things like measuring and disclosing its total emissions or stating that it doesn't fund fossil fuels. We've therefore given it our lowest rating.

Your bank may be ignoring the Paris Agreement.

The Paris Agreement set the goal to stay under 1.5°C of warming for very good reasons. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an increase of just a couple of degrees more could lead to "substantial species extinction, large risks to global and regional food security", and an inability to work outside — or even live — in some areas of the world. Our world will become unrecognizable as ocean dead zones, floods, and extreme weather fuel social and economic disruption.
