Be Green with Online Banking

Wednesday, 25 February 2009

Did you know that if all Americans eliminated the need for paper bills by viewing and paying their bills online, we could keep 18.5 million trees growing each year?

If you haven't already done so, sign up for online bill pay with your bank. Most banks now provide this service for free. Online bill pay is a convenient and easy way to reduce your environmental impact (and paper cuts). You could also save up to $148 per year on stamps!

In addition, a recent study found that people who bank online reduce their chances of identity theft by up to 10% since there's no paper trail. 

If your bank doesn't provide free online banking, try  Mycheckfree.
