Your bank has room for improvement on climate responsibility.
Tyro Bank offers everyday banking services and small business loans.
It has not disclosed its exposure to the fossil fuel industry, although on the basis that it only lends to small businesses, we consider the risk to be low.
We would like to see the bank put in place an explicit policy that, as the range of its services expands, it will never lend to the fossil fuel sector.
We would also like to see it tighten up its targets, by:
a) including emissions enabled by its lending within the boundary, and
b) investing in real decarbonization efforts instead of purchasing carbon credits
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.
