Switch To eStatements With St.George And Help Reduce Your Environmental Impact

Over the coming year, St.George hopes to migrate 30% of its customers to eStatements from paper statements. This option became available to St.George Bank customers on the 8th February 2010, and it is intended that this will make a small but positive contribution to the environment by saving on waste paper.
The hope is that St.George will be able to save 67 tonnes of paper over the period of a year which will effectively reduce their CO2 emissions by 167 tonnes.
The process will be simple to opt into. All customers need to do is request that they receive an email notification that their eStatement is ready rather than wait for a statement to arrive in the post. They can then go to the St.George Internet Banking site and view their statement online, which can then be saved and archived in the customer’s own computer. Customers can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that whilst visiting St.George Internet Banking their personal information is protected by world-class internet security.
St.George Bank CEO, Greg Bartlett, has said: “We encourage customers to seriously consider making the switch to eStatements … In addition to helping to reduce our paper usage – which in turn will save trees and reduce carbon emissions – for many customers, making the switch to eStatements will make banking with St.George even more convenient.”
St.George eStatements are free of charge and customers are able to view statements going back at least two years. They are available to individual account holders on the majority of transaction and savings accounts, credit card accounts, plus personal loans, home loans, business loans and some investment loans.
As an encouragement to customers to switch to eStatements, St.George is running a $10,000 online competition. Further information on this can be found at www.stgeorge.com.
