Sign up for Online Banking and Bill Pay, or use vendors’ websites to receive and pay bills electronically. Use a debit card instead of checks. Sign up for eStatements, or electronic statements, that you can save on a computer.
I work as a graphic designer. One of my clients is a community banking group that serves outstate Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota.
There are two levels of ecological benefit to using electronic banking services.
Banks promote electronic banking services because it saves paper costs, heated/cooled building space for storing checks and statements; it eliminates check scanning time (and scanner costs and space), mail transportation costs, and reduces staff time.
Customers see that it reduces paper use, saves time used for balancing accounts and processing bills, and helps people monitor spending better. It also allows users to create easily portable computer files of banking records, and preserves a backup accessible online.
