Company mission
To empower customers to access their needed financial service products, while simultaneously making the world a better place.
38% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Aspiration is a socially conscious financial investment management company that guarantees it will only place its customers’ funds in investments that are sustainable and cause no harm to the planet, making it an attractive choice for environmentally conscious consumers. This makes it an attractive alternative to other similar businesses like Wealthfront and Betterment – or traditional banks. In fact, the four biggest banks in America lend more than $240 billion of their customers’ money to fossil fuel projects, every year.
More than 1.5 million people in the US now use Aspiration for their banking services and with more than $200m of investment, the company has been able to implement new features, like a carbon-offset credit card. It's also having significant impact: for every $1,000 transferred to Aspiration, the planet-saving climate impact of 6,000 fewer miles driven by the average car is achieved.
As climate change becomes an increasingly important issue for consumers, and demand for sustainable products and services grows, Aspiration has experienced enormous demand for its services, particularly with the rise in use of online banking services due to the pandemic.
