About PayItGreen

Helping the environment by reducing paper and promoting electronic payments.

PayItGreen is a partnership between financial institutions, financial industry service providers, and businesses of all sizes. PayItGreen is committed to educating consumers and businesses about the positive environmental impacts of choosing electronic payments, bills, and statements over paper. By choosing electronic payments, the amount of paper in circulation can be significantly reduced—which benefits the environment.

PayItGreen encourages consumers to turn off the paper in their financial lives - specifically, to use Direct Deposit, receive bills and financial statements electronically, and make payments electronically stuff.

The PayItGreen website is an informational site. It is important to note that website visitors may not use this site to enroll in Direct Deposit, Direct Payment or eBills. You must sign up for these services directly with your employer and various service providers via their enrollment process (typically online at the company website).
