With 73% of millennials willing to pay more for ethical and sustainable products, it's clear that consumers are looking for a change. And that's exactly what we're here to provide.

Your Money, Your Choice

All banks invest deposits with the intention of making a profit. But what about the impact those investments have on the planet and society? At bunq, we believe you should have the power to decide. That's why we're the only bank in the world to offer Freedom of Choice - a feature that allows you to select the investments that align with your values.

We offer a range of investment options, including Arista certified green companies and personal lending and mortgages. Plus, we make it easy to learn about each option with an information button right in the app. And, we're transparent about the investments we exclude - no more worrying about your money going towards activities like coal mining or gambling.
