Earth Saver

The Earth Saver is an ethical and transparent savings account that enables you to contribute to the work of Friends of the Earth and provide a healthy return on your money.

The Earth Saver is part of the Triodos Charity Saver range of accounts and is run in partnership with Friends of the Earth. Open an account today and your savings will support their vital environmental campaigning work, as Triodos Bank donates the equivalent of 0.25% of the average balance of funds held in your account each year to Friends of the Earth. And as the UK’s most actively ethical bank, when you save with Triodos you’ll know we only lend to organisations that really make a difference to the world.

You can open an account with £100 or more. The more you save, the higher the interest rate and the more Triodos donates. You can also choose to donate all or some of your interest to Friends of the Earth. And, if you’re a UK tax payer, you can Gift Aid your donation, ensuring that Friends of the Earth enjoys the full benefit of your support.
