Who is Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is a mission-driven company that focuses on climate protection and sustainability. Unlike traditional banks, Tomorrow has committed itself to only investing funds towards projects that aim to positively impact the environment.

They offer a digital banking platform for everyday banking needs. You can access your account through their website or mobile app. You can enable contactless payments with Apple Pay or Google Pay.

This debit account is great for everyday needs, for example, if you need to pay for something at the store, if you need to transfer money to another account, or if you need to withdraw cash.

If you have savings goals, they have a nice feature that allows you to allocate money to different savings “pockets”

You will also have peace of mind knowing that with each purchase you make, the majority of the interchange fee (a fee that every bank charges the store) will go towards the Tomorrow climate contribution fund.

Who they work with:
Tomorrow is a Certified B Corp. They’ve partnered with Solaris bank – which provides the banking-as-a-service platform. They also partner with organizations like ClimatePartner to facilitate carbon offset projects – for example, when you purchase your morning cup of coffee, they will allocate a portion of the profits they earned from the “interchange fee” towards planting a tree to offset the carbon emissions.

How do you set up an account?
According to their website, the application process only takes 8 minutes. To apply: 

    1. Enter your personal information online
    2. Download Tomorrow’s app
    3. Identify yourself through video chat
    4. Activate the banking app 
    5. Get your Tomorrow Visa card and activate it on the app

Downsides:
This product is a great mobile-first banking product for everyday use. But, they don’t have the banking infrastructure to support investments, loans, nor credit cards. It is still nearly impossible to find a sustainable banking platform that does support those three banking features.
