Citizens Bank’s Green$ense helps the environment

You can earn up to $120 each year with any checking account enrolled in Green$ense at Citizens Bank. The checking account pays 10 cents each time you make a payment without writing a check, such as with a debit card, online bill payment or by setting up automatic payments. Green$ense checking accounts receive a debit card made from recycled plastic and online statements.

According to the Citizens Bank Web site, after just one year of enrolling in Green$ense, for every dollar you earn through the program you will:

• Save emissions equal to more than 87 miles of driving
• Save almost 4 gallons of gas consumed by transporting statements and bills
• Prevent more than 3.5 gallons of waste water
• Lower the global warming impact equal to turning off your refrigerator for a week
• Save more than 7 square feet of forest

Citizens Bank offers several personal checking accounts that can be enrolled in Green$ense, including:

• Green Checking, which has no minimum balance requirement and a low fee
• Circle Gold Checking with Interest which has preferred rates on saving and borrowing, plus rewards and special perks
• The Personal Checking with Interest which has no monthly fee when you carry a minimum balance
• Circle Checking which allows combined balances in the checking, savings and loans to offset the monthly fee.

Other checking accounts are available at the bank, which is based in Providence, R.I.
