This article doesn't even pretend to be encyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.254.144.228 (talk) 01:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Social Banking redirects to this page. I believe Social Banking is different. According to Gartner Group in an article from 6 Feb 2008, titled: Gartner Says Social Banking Platforms Threaten Traditional Banks for Control of Financial Relationships
Social banking is the combination of social trends, such as green practices, social entrepreneurship, and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and financial planning via social networks, with banking products and services. Venture capital investment in financial social networks (FSNs) such as Zopa, Prosper and Lending Club, as well as Virgin USA's acquisition of a majority stake in CircleLending point to the growing prevalence of FSNs and increasing consumer interest in this area.
I agree, a new article called Social Banking would be a great differentiation. SocentSocinvest (talk) 16:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
"Social" is from the political ideology of "Socialism", that might be out of place for many, especially nowadays. "Ethical", is a congregation of values that combined give a larger view of human behaviours. Using "Social banking" we describe only a portion of the issue, and so the need to add specific sectors as: "Micro credit", "Micro finance", "Sustainable trade" and so on.
