HSBC provides 'green' banking option

HSBC is providing customers with a conscience the opportunity to take advantage of a host of green banking options.

As of yesterday (July 2nd), all existing and new HSBC account holders have the option of choosing an eco-friendly method of banking.

Those who opt to take on this package will not receive paper monthly statements, cheque books, paying-in books, letters or paper direct mail relating to their current account.

HSBC's green banking option also provides a number of discounts on a host of eco-friendly offers, including £70 off with Ecotricity, ten per cent off every order with Natural Collection and 40 per cent off Ecologist Magazine.

For every HSBC account opened before August 26th, the group will donate £5 to Earthwatch, the Climate Group and the WWF.

Mike Oliver, head of accounts at HSBC, said: "We are continually looking for ways to raise awareness of environmental issues among our staff and customers."

He added: "We already plan to extend the green bank account option to student, graduate and youth accounts in the next few months and we are looking to launch more green initiatives and products going forward."
