As a result of a spring campaign, Richland Bank donated $600 to two organizations, awarding $300 to each. The campaign was designed to increase the use of electronic bank statements among its customers. Richland Bank pledged one dollar for every person to sign up for the free service before June 30, 2014, and the total was split between Kingwood Center and Mansfield City Parks.
At the end of the campaign, over 400 customers switched to eStatements.
“This campaign brings together multiple benefits for our community and customers,” said Richland Bank President John Brown. “We are able to support two great organizations and help protect our environment all while providing our customers the benefit of additional security.”
Richland Bank’s eStatement service allows customers to stop receiving their bank statements via U.S. mail and view them instead online, through our secure online banking site. The bank sends an email reminder to the customer each month when the full statement is posted. eStatements offer increased security, instant access to statements, and conserve paper.
The green impact of eStatements comes from saving resources. Traditional statements use a significant amount of paper, ink, and result in the production of greenhouse gas. These small changes, multiplied over an organization, can have a significant environmental impact. It’s not the bank’s only contribution to the environment either. Last year the bank saved 291 trees through shredding and recycling paper.
