    Would you be willing to pay £3 a month for an ethical current account?

      Why no one is informed about armed banks?
      There is no video on the subject, yet by scaling or eliminating this problem the world would be nearly without problems

    This was so useful and thorough, thank you! I've linked it in the description of my new video, really hope it helps people make the decision to switch if it's right for them :)

      Thanks Leena, looks like your challenge has been full on. Well done for taking that on!
      Let me know what you think once you get the card and app but well done on getting the application done.

    Thanks very much Andy for this. I've been thinking of switching for ages now, did some research and came across Triodos. I'm making some changes around who I support/who I don't (values I suppose 😊) so I'm happy to pay £3 per month. Only ever had one account...so I'm now going to watch another video of yours! Thank you for the thorough, balanced research 👍😊

    Great video, thank you! I would love to see a comparison of the more ethical savings accounts as well

    I'd love you to do a review of the coop bank, I know they are now hedge fund owned but the cash structure and values remain much the same. They need to sort out their call centre online banking and app which have not changed since 2015!

    • @BeCleverWithYourCash
      @BeCleverWithYourCash  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, it's not amazing. I think if ethics are your main driver for an account but you don't want to pay the £3 with Triodos, then go for Nationwide.

    I'm with Triodos bank Netherlands and except for local bank offices it's quite good. However, they both lowered interest on saving accounts to 0% and at the same time more then doubled the monthly fee to keep the service. I don't like these costs so I'm moving over to a different bank which also has good ethical standards.

      Yes, it's a hard choice to make when there's free money available elsewhere - though there's nothing to say you can't use free cash from one of those other banks to fund the £3 Triodos fee!

    I was with Starling but then joined Triodos but I don’t see the point in paying for a bank account. I don’t see any benefits from it. I moved to First Direct. My main reason why I moved to FD is its 24/7 banking and always get a real person on the end of the phone.

      Even though FD, being part of a bank which was involved in money laundering in Mexico? Nice.

    • @BeCleverWithYourCash
      @BeCleverWithYourCash  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You pay £3 to support the cost of the account. Elsewhere, those costs are usually covered by things like poorer customers paying for things like overdrafts. So Triodos argue this is a fairer way to bank.
