Bank with a Conscience

Looking for a simple way to check social responsibility off your list this month? Columbia Bank’s Grow Green checking account program not only does good for the environment by reducing paper and   encouraging online and electronic banking, it also supports your local Habitat for Humanity affiliate!

This eco-conscious checking account simply requires that customers use paperless features such as online bill pay, online banking and electronic statements. By doing so, waste is cut drastically and a positive impact on the environment is made.

It gets better. For every Grow Green checking account opened, Columbia Bank will make a donation to the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate in the county where the account was opened. Since launching the Grow Green checking account program in May 2008, Columbia Bank has donated more than $21,000 to Habitat for Humanity chapters around Washington state.

Grow Green Checking account customers also have the option to open a Grow Green savings account which typically offers a higher annual percentage yield than Columbia Bank’s standard personal savings account. Convinced? Simply visit your local Columbia Bank branch in Olympia or Lacey and ask for more information. www.columbiabank.com
