Sustainability
Behind every bank balance are people and a planet.
Kroo sees the life beyond the numbers. We’re making it our mission to be trusted and loved by our customers, and we want to inspire action while holding ourselves accountable.
By building a branchless, digital bank that’s committed to sustainability, we’re on the way to changing banking for good. And we’ve got big plans for the future.
Giving something back is at the heart of Kroo. It’s in our nature. Whether it’s putting money back into our customers’ pockets or supporting communities worldwide through our partnership with One Tree Planted. We launched Kroo to change banking for good and won’t stop until it’s done.

Protecting the planet we all share is more important than ever. This is why, together with One Tree Planted, we aim to plant 1 million trees by 2024.
When you open a Kroo current account, we’ll plant two trees on your behalf in communities where it will make a real impact.
