Celebrating Arbor Day One eStatement At A Time
First Federal Lakewood Making a Donation to Plant Trees on Behalf of Customers that Convert to eStatements
LAKEWOOD, Ohio, April 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- First Federal Lakewood, the largest independent mutual bank headquartered in Ohio, is encouraging customers to go paperless in honor of Arbor Day on April 24. The bank will make a donation to plant one tree on behalf of each customer who converts from a paper-based account statement to an eStatement between April 24 and July 15, 2015. First Federal Lakewood is supporting the planting of trees through the Arbor Day Foundation.
By switching to free and secure eStatements for checking, savings and mortgage loan accounts, First Federal Lakewood customers avoid the clutter of traditional paper statements and enjoy the ease and convenience of the bank's Online Banking solutions.
"The tree has been our logo since we opened our doors eighty years ago, and investing in our planet by planting trees on behalf of our customers is a direct reflection of who we are as a mutual bank," said Thomas J. Fraser, president and CEO of First Federal Lakewood. "We are continually finding new ways to partner with our customers to re-invest in the neighborhoods where we all live, work and play, and this Arbor Day campaign allows us to extend our impact to our global community as well."
According to the Arbor Day Foundation, the trees planted in National Forests as a result of the campaign will sustain wildlife, restore a valuable resource, and replace those lost to fire, insects, and disease.
