This Earth Day, we want to say Yes I Can for the Planet and invite everyone to do their part with small efforts that achieve big things. In the fight against climate change, it is important to unite and protect our planet for ourselves, our children, grandchildren and everyone who comes.

This mindset also allows us to open doors to new possibilities. It encourages us to have a commitment to find and implement viable solutions to put them into practice immediately, effectively and permanently. It also educates us and encourages us to change personal habits and in the business world. Because after all, we coexist in this same world.

For the Planet, more Digital Banking

In the past, you had to drive to the bank to make all your transactions. This practice implied greater use of gasoline, which increases gas emissions and, in short, more pollution. On the other hand, imagine how many trees can be saved by avoiding printing mortgage loan documents, car loan documents, account statements, receipts and distributing them electronically.

Did you know that the more digital banking you do, the more eco-friendly you can be? By using digital tools you can make almost all your transactions instantly without having to go to the bank. These solutions were designed for greater convenience and their use reduces the impact of the processes on the environment. So the more transactions you make digitally, such as deposits, transfers, payments, and many more, you will save energy and resources, and thus contribute to the well-being of the environment.

With this mindset, we offer you some simple tips to make banking more eco-friendly. Details that when added together, can have a great effect on the well-being of the planet. Are you ready to know how you contribute to the well-being of the earth?
