Isn’t it nice when doing good also works out well for you? Such is the case with online banking. When you take your bank accounts paperless, you help the environment while decreasing clutter, saving time, and possibly preventing identity theft.

When you opt to receive your monthly bank statements via email, as well as paying bills online, you save the trees that would have been cut down to make your statement, the envelope, your billing statements and those envelopes, plus the checks and return envelopes you use when you mail a payment back. Additionally, you spare the landfills where so much of that waste would end up, and transporting your information electronically doesn’t belch gas fumes into the atmosphere the way mail trucks do.
