HSBC has announced that with immediate effect all existing and new HSBC Bank Account, HSBC Basic Bank Account, HSBC Plus and HSBC Premier current account customers have the option of opening, or switching to, the green option of an HSBC current account.
Customers who go green will not receive paper monthly statements, cheque books, paying-in books, letters or paper direct mail relating to their current account.
The bank is also piloting a system to allow customers to request their terms and conditions and other account documentation electronically as an alternative to providing paper copies.
In addition, a £5 donation for every account opened in the next 8 weeks - until Friday August 26th - will be shared between WWF, Earthwatch and The Climate Group.
The green option also features a number of discounts including up to £70 savings with Ecotricity (who will provide customers with free energy-efficient light bulbs), 10% off every order from the Natural Collection, 40% off Ecologist magazine standard subscription and 20% off first order at Goodness Direct.
