Our Green Impact
Climate change is unquestionable, so we’re on a path to make banking effortlessly sustainable.
Together we’ve planted
10 million trees!
Our commitment
We’re dedicated to making it super easy for our users fight climate change. From planting trees as they spend, to earning interest on entirely green investments, bunqers are making the world greener every day.
How we plant
Together with Eden Reforestation Projects, we’re planting mangrove trees across restoration projects in Marotia, Madagascar and Kwasasi & Magumba, Kenya. The projects create jobs with fair wages for locals, and contribute to regreening areas that had previously been deforested.
Where we’re planting trees
Indonesia
On the peatland destroyed by forest fires in Borneo, bunq users will plant a mixture of native tree species that occur naturally to help reforest the area.
