Spain: Ethical competition with bank savings accounts

Triodos Bank presents the “fair account” in agreement with NGOs Ideas, Intermón and Setem

di Ges

Triodos Bank has presented the ?fair account? in agreement with NGOs Ideas, Intermón and Setem. The ?fair account? is a savings account with no bank charges which gathers the concepts of solidarity-based and ethical finances.

It is ethical because it follows the criteria of the Triodos Bank to support projects of sustainable development; and it is also solidarity-based because a percentage of the interests is earmarked to support fair trade.

The fair account is aimed at individuals, enterprises, organisations, public organisations, etc., which is a proof that in Spain ethical finances have become a real alternative to traditional financial systems.
