WDM Saver

"The people of the lesser developed countries have suffered so much. But there are those who try to change this sad situation. I give thanks to the World Development Movement (WDM) and its work." Archbishop Desmond Tutu

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

The WDM Saver is part of the Triodos Charity Saver range of accounts and is run in partnership with the WDM. Open an account today and your savings will support their vital work, as Triodos Bank donates the equivalent of 0.25% of the average balance of funds held in your account each year to the WDM. 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 the WDM. And, if you’re a UK tax payer, you can Gift Aid your donation, ensuring that the WDM enjoys the full benefit of your support.
