Overview
Good Money offers checking, debit, and a rewards program with fee-free banking. It funds environmental and social initiatives by allocating 50% of profits and partners with Rainforest Trust, donating per card swipe to protect the Amazon; revenue still comes from standard banking activities like transactions and loan interest. It stands out by tying customer rewards to equity in the company and by avoiding investments in deforestation or private prisons, emphasizing explicit social impact. Its goal is to make everyday banking support environmental conservation and social justice while returning value to customers.
