1. General
Tandem was created with a vision of building ‘The Good Bank’ – one that put customers’ needs first and takes the stress out of money management. Tandem recognises the critical impact that we all have on the environment and following the acquisition of green lending business, Allium, set about helping customers to understand and reduce their environmental impact and help to create a more sustainable future for our planet.
You can watch your money grow, whilst supporting our green lending initiatives and helping to make UK homes more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Through customer research, we know that a lot of our customers are looking for ways to live more sustainably and to save and spend their money more ethically and that’s why we have much more to come.
We’re a digital bank which means we’re branch-free and proud of it! Better for the environment and better for you, with everything online or available in our app.
