Fixing Who Gets Capital: David Reiling on the Net Zero Deposit Fund|S4E18

What if the money sitting in your bank account could help finance a cleaner economy and strengthen underserved communities at the same time?

In this episode of the Sustainability & Climate Podcast, Labake and Tobi sit down with David Reiling, CEO of Sunrise Banks, to explore the thinking behind the Net Zero Deposit Fund and a bigger question at the heart of finance: who gets access to capital?

David shares lessons from community banking, the relationship between deposits and lending, and how financial institutions can direct capital towards communities and businesses that have historically struggled to access it.

The conversation explores whether doing good and doing well really have to be competing ideas, how banks can connect climate action with community impact, and what it takes to rethink the role money can play in building a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

In this episode: community banking, access to capital, the Net Zero Deposit Fund, climate finance, sustainable banking, financial inclusion, impact investing and the future of responsible finance.
