  • We offer targeted dividends on our accounts. This is different to interest. Dividends are like ‘profit-share’ and are dependent on the bank's performance.

    Our dividends are ‘targetted’. This means it is projected at a rate we feel is very likely to be a minimum payment. We review these dividend projections quarterly. They are not guaranteed.

  • Our investment risk attitude is classed as ethical-cautious. We invest in a better society. We only invest in ethical funds that have social impact.

    A ‘direct’ investment is where we directly invest money into a social goal set by our members and board.

    An ‘indirect’ investment is where we invest in other financial institutions that align with our social goals.
