Sign the Youth Pledge to Bank on a Better Future
How it works:
Sign the pledge.
Contact your branch manager to let them know you have signed, and that you intend to close your account ASAP if they do not make meaningful climate commitments. If you do not yet have your own bank account, contact local bank branch managers and let them know that you intend to open your first account with an alternative institution whenever you are able. Banks put a lot of effort into recruiting young people to start their first account with them, so let them know you’ll be taking your business elsewhere.
Open your new account. Check here for information on alternative banking options.
Close your account with a big five bank.
