FAQs

Why should I move my money?

There’s growing recognition that the role of finance is crucial in solving the climate crisis. But ethical and sustainable investment funds are still niche, and the ethical banking space is comparatively small. This means there’s huge opportunity to align our money with our principles. Participating in Money Movers is one route to growing your understanding and making changes.

What's green finance?

Green finance is when money is used to help projects and businesses that protect the environment and fight against climate change, instead of funding fossil fuels. As an individual, you can think about the financial products, services or investments you hold, and whether they’re aligned with positive environmental impacts.

Which financial providers and services are ethical?

Money Movers is a peer-support community, so we never give financial advice. But we've compiled plenty of invaluable resources to help you do your own independent research. Check out our guide to green finance for more info.
