Ethical Finance is a rapidly growing sector of the UK financial services market.

It is a term used to describe financial products such as bank accounts or insurance policies which are not funded by investment in certain industries such as the arms trade, in industries which harm the environment, or in companies who exploit their workers.

Ethical finance has long been championed by the Co-operative Bank and their insurance arm CIS, and you can now find ethical products in almost every area of financial services, including savings accounts and bonds, current accounts, and child trust funds.
