Sallie’s Opinion

Where you bank matters

Well, hello, you world-changing women+.

At Ellevest, we love to say: Nothing bad happens when women have more money.

Proof? More than 50% of you using Ellevest’s digital investing platform are invested in Ellevest Impact Portfolios. Also known as “ESG,” these are investments that direct dollars to companies with strong environmental, social, and corporate governance criteria.

In other words, they’re multi-taskers in the world of investments — working to improve businesses, and thus the world, while also working to earn returns.

And we’re here for it. But that’s not all we’ve got for you.
