Bank with a bank that represents your ethical concerns

The UK Co-operative Bank has had a unique Ethical Policy since 1992, which has given their customers a say on what types of businesses they do, and don't, finance. In the last 16 years, over £900 million of their customers' money has been withheld from businesses whose activities conflict with the policy. Issues have ranged from human rights to animal rights, the arms trade to the environment.
