How Ethical Banking Programs Work
Ethical banking at Sunrise Banks is designed to make every deposit count toward real, measurable change. When you choose a Net Zero or Community Impact account designation, your money is used to fund projects that strengthen local economies and protect the planet.
Through Net Zero Banking, deposits are directed toward financing that reduces or avoids carbon emissions — things like energy-efficient building upgrades and clean transportation. These net zero deposits help fund progress toward a lower-carbon future, offering a clear example of the benefits of ethical, environmentally friendly banking in action.
With Community Impact Banking, deposits become a catalyst for social change and community development, fueling progress in places that need it most. This approach demonstrates how deposits support community development by reinvesting capital where it creates lasting change.
Together, these programs represent our dedication to ethical and socially responsible impact. If you want and expect transparency, impact, and purpose from your banking, you have a partner in Sunrise Banks.
