Connecting your faith and your bank.
Have you considered how you love your neighbour and care for creation through your choice of bank account? What do you know about your banks values and where they are investing your money?

Is it possible your money is being used to fuel climate change, support the arms trade and cause injustice?

Choosing an ethical bank is part of stewarding our finances well and living out our faith and values through our financial decisions.
