U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union has announced a partnership with Tree New Mexico to support environmental sustainability through the enrollment of eStatements.
The digital version of account statements allows the documentation to be received online rather than through mail, which brings environmental benefits by creating online access through the customer’s banking portal.
As part of this initiative, U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union has pledged to donate to the non-profit organization dedicated to tree planting and urban forestry, Tree New Mexico, to aid in the fight for a most sustainable state.
“Environmental sustainability is important to U.S. Eagle and we encourage all of our members to enroll in eStatements to help protect and preserve our natural resources in New Mexico,” said Marsha Majors, president and CEO of U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union. “Our partnership with Tree New Mexico underscores our ‘people mean more’ philosophy by improving the quality of life in the communities we serve.”
The collaboration is set to begin on April 2, with donations continuing through Earth Day on April 22.
The effort aims to promote sustainability by reducing the use of paper, boosting security measures and highlighting the importance of reforestation efforts needed in New Mexico.
“Not only does the receipt of eStatements help sustain the environment, but it is a safer and more secure way to receive monthly statements and notices from the credit union. They eliminate paperwork, reduce the need for mail delivery, and offer a more convenient way to access banking information when needed,” said Majors.
“The partnership will help minimize our environmental impact by reducing the amount of paper, and the funds saved will be donated to Tree New Mexico so the organization can plant more trees and continue to educate the public about the importance of healthy urban forests.”
U.S. Eagle Federal Credit Union is one of the leading credit unions in the state, with over 10,000 members and 11 branches in New Mexico, including one in Bernalillo.
