How to find a bank that doesn't invest in fossil fuels

Could your bank account be one of your biggest climate superpowers?

Most people never think to check who their bank lends to or invests in, but switching to a fossil-free bank is ranked as the highest-impact climate action you can take with your money in the SHIFT guide (https://jointheshift.earth/).

In this episode, host Kim talks to Matt, a First Direct/HSBC customer in the UK, who discovers his bank's fossil fuel financing for the first time, live, on the call, and what he found when he compared fossil-free alternatives.

They cover why banking matters so much more than most people realize, how to check your own bank's fossil funding score, and the practical steps for switching to a climate-friendly bank without losing your direct debits, your mortgage payments or missing any bills.
