Leading digital challenger bank, Tandem, has launched ‘Tandem Marketplace’.
As a consumer-focused hub, Tandem Marketplace aims to provide consumers with the key information, resources and choices they need for greener living
With an aim to be a greener digital bank, Tandem is focused on supporting its customers to make greener financial choices, leveraging its unique position as a green enabler.
Georgina Whalley, Tandem’s chief impact and marketing officer, said: “We are in the middle of a climate crisis and a cost-of-living crisis.
“People shouldn’t have to choose between heating and eating.
“This is why we have created our Marketplace; people need more information and support to make greener choices.
“Our new Marketplace starts to fill this gap and provides a dedicated resource to help people take action and ultimately save money on energy bills.
“I’m delighted that it’s now live, but equally excited to continue to develop how Tandem supports everyday people with banking for a greener future.”
The first phase of the Tandem Marketplace gives people the information they need to retrofit their homes and connects them to Tandem’s home improvement partners, helping consumers to take climate action and save money on their energy bills.
Recent research by Tandem has shown that almost 19 million Brits are unaware, uninformed, unwilling or unsupported on how to approach greener living.
And, while many consumers want to make more environmental choices, a quarter of Brits either don’t think they need to change or don’t know where to start.
Add to this the fact that almost 35% of UK emissions come from householdsand it’s clear that greater attention must be devoted to addressing household sustainability.
Tandem is on a mission to fix this, and this new dedicated hub is the latest step to support and empower customers with the information they need to make their homes more sustainable.
The Marketplace provides a starting place to find out what can be done, who can do it, and what the benefits are for both the planet and the individual.
It will include information about green home improvement from solar panels to boiler upgrades, and smart technology from Tandem’s partners, blogs with useful advice on greener choices, guest content from industry experts, and access to Tandem’s range of financing products including green home improvement lending.
