Cooperation between Helios and the Nave!?

I don't want Helios to partner with a bank that has a foot in a sect. Ecology yes, antrophosophy no.

The NEF has a link with sectarian movements (anthroposophy)

Annual Pelican: no attention to chronic fake news... there is even a dedicated page that explains where this criticism comes from, which is no longer relevant (except for its competitors?) ;)
I agree with you, the founder had indeed a bit odd facets but he hasn't been around for a long time, and the management committee is very clear on the issue, as is 99.7% of voters: “the NEF is not an anthroposophist, is not a dedicated financial tool or dependent on any ideology and it cultivates total political, religious or philosophical independence”
Finally, given its elected leadership system, it is not possible to “infiltrate” or play on a lack of transparency. The SSE (social and solidarity economy) is a
legal
guarantee of transparency in governance, which cannot be found elsewhere (yes, not even in Helios!).A

Atomic tangerine Toucan: I have already read the page dedicated to the subject on the NEF website. It is not difficult to say that you have cut ties with the movement. In addition, getting to the point of having a dedicated page does not inspire confidence in me.
The NEF was still mentioned in the 2021 report of Miviludes (Interministerial Mission for Vigiludes and Combating Sectarian Exerences):
Members of the Supervisory Board and NEF partners always include figures and organizations belonging to the anthroposophical movement:
The latest funding for anthroposophy and biodynamics is very recent, and others may still be hidden.
In view of all this, the question does not seem so clear to me.

Annual Pelican I attended the 2023 General Assembly where the resolution affirming the independence of the NEF from the anthroposophical movement was voted on. Several members of this movement came to the microphone to plead against this resolution but were clearly outvoted (99.7% I think).
The NEF has not financed such schools since 2019.
We cannot ask organizations to take into account criticisms, to be transparent about their operations and investments, to have open and participatory governance, etc. And moreover, continue to accuse on the basis of criticisms that are no longer current.

I agree, and maybe that would even make it possible to offer French IBANs 😉

Very relevant! Having an NEF passbook, it would be nice if we could for example use the Helios application with nef accounts
