Annual General Moving Your Money

AGM season is coming up and all eyes will again be on the banks. We’ll understand just how much money they’re making, and just how little they’ve changed since causing global financial meltdown.

As account holders we won’t be invited to the Annual General Meetings to hear last years results, or vote on business conduct for the next. And we won’t be holding our breath for Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds or RBS voting to halt their risky practices, tax avoidance, massive bonuses, or unethical investments.

We all have a stake in a financial system that works for the many not the few. We don’t get a vote, but it’s our money they hold, and we do have a voice.

On the day of your bank’s AGM, have your say. Whether you decide to move all your money, or just a bit, say no to business as usual for the big banks. Pledge to move your money now, put the date in your diary, and help build something better.
