Turn your savings into a force for good
Want to help the Fairtrade Foundation in putting justice and sustainable development at the heart of trade structures? Would you like your savings to have a positive impact on social, cultural and environmental issues? Then show your commitment with the Fairtrade Saver account. As well as earning interest on your savings, you’ll have the assurance that your money is being put to work supporting an initiative that aims to improve the trading position and livelihood of people.
It’s for anyone aged 16 or over who has £100 or more to save. You can open a Fairtrade Saver in your name, or jointly with another person. The more you save, the more we’ll pay directly to Fairtrade Foundation – we donate 0.25% of your average balance. And if you want to, you can choose to donate all or a percentage of your interest, too.
A cause for your concern
Opening our Fairtrade Saver account means straightaway you’re making a difference. The more you save, the more interest you earn, and the more we’ll donate to the Fairtrade Foundation. And it’s not just a better return on your savings – your money is helping producers and people around the world maintain a decent and dignified livelihood and develop their full potential.
Know how we use your savings
At Triodos, we believe being ethical means being open. We publish a list of every organisation we lend to, so you know exactly where your money goes. No other bank offers you such a clear link between your savings and the positive difference they make.
