Every April 22nd, we celebrate Earth Day—a time to reflect on our impact on the planet and consider how we can build a more sustainable future. But going green isn’t just about planting trees or recycling. Your financial choices can also play a major role in protecting the environment. At UKRFCU, we’re proud to support eco-conscious habits that align with both your values and your budget.

1. Enroll in eStatements & Reduce Paper Waste

Cutting down on paper is one of the simplest ways to reduce your environmental footprint. By enrolling in eStatements, you eliminate unnecessary paper usage while still getting secure, instant access to your financial records. Bonus: You’ll save space, stay organized, and possibly even win a UKRFCU giveaway for eStatement users!

2. Bank Digitally to Save Resources

Every time you drive to a branch for a basic transaction, you’re using gas, time, and resources. UKRFCU’s Online and Mobile Banking tools help you check balances, pay bills, transfer funds, and even deposit checks from anywhere saving both time and the environment.

3. Choose Energy-Efficient Financing Options

Planning a home renovation? Ask about UKRFCU’s HELOC loans that can help fund energy-efficient upgrades like solar panels, insulation, or energy-saving appliances. Not only will you lower your utility bills, but you’ll also boost your home’s sustainability.

4. Support Local & Eco-Friendly Businesses with Your Card

Use your UKRFCU Visa Card to support local businesses that prioritize sustainable practices. Buying local reduces carbon emissions from transportation and supports community resilience.

5. Reduce, Reuse, Refinance

Is your auto loan draining your wallet (and gas tank)? Refinance with UKRFCU and consider switching to a hybrid or electric vehicle. We offer loans and refinancing for select electric vehicles. Call us or book an appointment to learn more! We may be able to help you find a better rate, and a greener ride.

Going green with your money doesn’t require drastic changes, just thoughtful choices that align your values with your financial habits. This Earth Day, take small steps toward a greener, smarter future with UKRFCU by your side.
