The overwhelming majority of banks and investment funds are directly tied to war and fossil fuels.

Please note that most of the brands I mention are eligible for 3-6% cash back from GreenFi’s Green Marketplace. Now, I’m about to sound like a paid representative of GreenFi because I love them so much. I am not. If anything, I’ve been paying them long before they were GreenFi (formerly known as Aspiration Bank.)

It is incredibly difficult to find a bank that does not invest in war or fossil fuels and is fully transparent about their investments. I can think of two, with the other being Everance. Several years ago when they were Aspiration Bank, I wanted to know why on earth their Redwood IRA invested in things like Hyatt Hotels or something. I emailed them and they sent a thorough explanation of the investment strategy.  Exceptional customer service.
