The lovely Co-op bank

I would really like to have the Co-op as my bank account.  They’ve just introduced a new ethical policy, although their old one wasn’t half bad either.  This new policy incorporates such things as human rights and ecological impact.  Their ecological impact statement now makes sure that they do not invest in such things as tar sands and biofuels.  I wish more banks had such a good understanding of these issues and had the courage to put them into practice.

Sadly I don’t have a co-op bank account.  On a business front this is for practical reasons as they did not offer a good enough internet banking option to customers.  On a personal front its more complicated – fear of change, loyalty to my existing bank, and fear of the complications that will arise when I try and change over.  Maybe I should overcome that fear, it is for a very good cause after all.
