Since 1988, La Nef, an ethical cooperative bank, has exclusively financed projects with positive impacts using the money deposited by its savers and members. Its mission: to create a financial tool serving a fairer and more sustainable economy, to consider money as a common good, and to forge a strong link between savers and borrowers.
Choosing La Nef means opting for an eco-friendly bank that takes concrete action for the transition.
Joining La Nef means:
• Knowing where your money goes - La Nef is the only French bank to publish all of its financing
• Financing the ecological and social transition - Thanks to your savings, La Nef exclusively finances ecological, social, and cultural projects (organic farming, renewable energy, healthcare, social inclusion, the circular economy, early childhood, healthy aging, publishing, education, etc.)
• Being a co-owner of your bank - By becoming a member of the cooperative, you become a co-owner of La Nef and have your voice heard at general meetings
• Supporting an independent ethical bank - La Nef is fully independent and is not affiliated with any other banking institution
• Saying no to speculation - La Nef does not engage in speculation on the financial markets and strives to make financial systems more transparent for everyone
As an individual, you can join La Nef by becoming a saver with a Nef savings account (from €10, free and risk-free) or a fixed-term deposit account (from €5,000 invested for 1 to 7 years, free and risk-free) or by becoming a member with shares (3 shares of €30 minimum).
Saving with La Nef means financing impactful projects and being certain of that.
