Show Notes
Undercover banker Ashley X discusses the role of public banks, banking coops and the precarious financial system as we delve into the capabilities of an ethical banking system. Now – vote with your feet!

I bank with Vic Teach Credit Coop, have our mortgage with Members Equity and super with Australian Ethical Investment. Perhaps there are better options to save on bank fees? One is to merge my banking with Members Equity, although they have a new CEO who announced an aggressive push into mortgage lending. You can guess my opinion on such a strategy.
