Good morning,

 

I am preparing my big move from East to West coast. I found a place

in North Berkeley. I am excited!

 

I am searching for an " ethical " bank in Berkeley. By this, I mean a

bank that has investments in the " least amount of suffering " (human,

environmental, animal). Does anyone have any suggestions. I would

love to avoid using WaMu or Bank of America.

 

Best,

Breeze

I moved from Chicago to SF. I transferred to ETrade. I know they do

almost everything online. They reimburse you for ATM fees from any

bank. I do know since they are mostly online - they save on paper

waste. I dont know the extent of human and animal. Does anyone else

know if there are any red flags for Etrade?

 

thanks!

Mari

I've heard the Mechanics' Bank is Berkeley is very

community oriented. I'm not sure though if that means

they are " ethical " though...perhaps others can comment

on it?

 

New Resources Bank is San Francisco (not in Berkeley

as far as I know) is very environment friendly and

also give grants and donate to many community

projects. I just switched to them from BofA a couple

of months ago. They are big on recycling and

conservation...you can call them to get details if you

want. They will reimburse you up to 10

transactions/month (or something like that) for any

ATM of any bank you use so it's quiet convenient.

 

You may also want to consider a credit union instead

of a bank as they tend to be less greedy so presumably

less evil. There are many in SF and I assume some in

Berkeley as well.
