Dear Friend, Green America’s Better Banking campaign is dedicated to helping people switch to banks and credit unions that reflect their commitment to social justice and environmental sustainability. Conventional mega-banks have a long history of predatory lending, especially targeting people of color. Mega-banks are also the biggest funders of fossil fuels, using your money to fund the climate crisis. Since the Paris climate agreement, the 35 biggest banks (including names such as Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America) funded over $2.7 trillion in fossil fuels.1 Green America teamed up with Aspiration, a certified member of our Green Business Network, to make it easier for you to put your money where your values are. Plus, they pledge to donate 10% of their profits to charity. Aspiration refuses to finance Big Oil and other polluter projects like pipelines, oil drilling, or coal mining so that you can be assured your accounts are not contributing to climate chaos. Aspiration offers a Spend and Save Account that can help you divest your deposits from fossil fuels and save more money while you’re at it. With your account, you can opt-in to plant a tree with every purchase you make, choose to get automatic offsets that make your driving carbon neutral, and even see how where the places you shop with your Aspiration card treat their workers and the environment. They offer cash back rewards (up to 10%!) at select businesses that also care about people and the planet, up to 15x higher interest than the national average on your savings,2 and unlimited fee-free withdrawals at over 55,000 Allpoint ATMs. Accounts are also FDIC-insured,3 so you can be sure your money is safe with Aspiration. You don’t have to worry about high monthly fees either. You choose what you pay, even if it is $0. In addition, by opening an account at Aspiration Bank from this email, you also financially support Green America’s work thanks to our partnership. Join other Green Americans with an Aspiration account and put your money where your values are. Thanks for all you do for people and the planet. |
