At TFed Credit Union, we believe making a positive impact doesn’t have to be complicated. The tools you use every day can do more than make banking easier — they can help create a more sustainable future.

We’re not just talking about saving a stamp or skipping a trip to the branch. We're talking about meaningful changes that reduce waste, cut emissions, and make a real difference — without adding anything to your to-do list.

Here’s how easy it can be to bank greener:

E-Statements & eNotices

Opting out of paper does more than reduce clutter. It lowers the need for large-scale printing, ink use, and fuel required to deliver thousands of envelopes each month.

Automatic Transfers & Bill Pay

Setting up recurring payments to vendors that accept digital transfers eliminates the need for paper checks and envelopes altogether. It’s not just convenient — it’s more efficient and environmentally responsible. If your payment still results in a mailed check, consider calling the company directly to ask if they accept electronic payments. Many do, and making that switch can significantly reduce waste and delivery-related emissions.

Online Applications & Paperless Transactions

Whether you’re opening an account, applying for a loan, completing paperwork or performing a transaction at a branch, ask for digital options. Online forms and electronic receipts reduce printing and paper use — and make the process faster and more convenient.
