Are you Paying Green Yet?

Have you gone "green" with your finances yet? Now is the perfect time to start! As part of the PayItGreen Alliance (www.payitgreen.org), Elavon and our parent company U.S. Bank have joined this nationwide effort to encourage electronic bills, statements and payments over paper alternatives.

So why pay green? Because it has the potential to produce some huge environmental benefits. Consider this: according to a new study commissioned by the alliance, if one in five households switched to electronic bills, statements and payments, the collective impact would:

• Save 151 million pounds of paper annually
• Avoid filling 8.6 million household garbage bags with waste
• Avoid producing 2 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions

Wow, that’s an impressive environmental impact! And that’s why we’re part of the PayItGreen Alliance, comprised of several leading companies in the financial services and consumer billing industries.

SYSCO customers who process their payments with Elavon can request to receive their statements electronically instead of via U.S. Mail.  For more information about a payment processing program with Elavon, call us at 800-380-4554.
