In the UK I banked with the Co-op Bank because of its ethical policies. Now I live in New York and I want to open a US checking account with a bank with a similar ethical outlook, so my money (such as it is!) doesn't get used to finance bad stuff. Googling doesn't show up anything similar apart from the Common Good Bank which isn't actually open yet. So who should I use ethical Mefites?
