I posted an article from US News and World Report on our new website GreenLegals just yesterday about the new green rewards card being issued by Wells Fargo.Then today I took a look at a new program from Citizens Bank and the concept of green banking from Green Living Ideas.
With Green$ense, from Citizens Bank, they say, “We’ll pay you 10 cents every time you pay without paper – like when you use your debit card, pay a bill online, or have an automatic payment charged to your checking account or debit card. You can earn up to $120 a year! It’s good for the environment and your bank account.” Greensense
Green Living ideas gives a good description of the basics of green banking and the article is filled with seedlings and sprouts. “In its simplest form, your bank uses the money you deposit into checking and savings accounts, or certificates of deposit (CDs) by making loans to businesses and to individuals for personal purchases such as cars and homes. The bank earns revenue from the interest it collects on the loans, investments it makes, and on fees it earns through various other services.” Green Living Ideas
Call your bank today and find out what they are doing to help us all love green.
