SEATTLE – Seattle Metropolitan CU said it has introduced “green loans,” which offer discounts on auto loans for fuel-efficient vehicles, home loans for certified green homes and equity loans for energy efficiency upgrades.
The credit union, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, commemorated the rollout of its new eco-friendly loan products with a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant trees where they are needed most.
The $500 million credit union also introduced a green-themed Web site design, a 35-foot-tall colorful Green Loans banner made from recyclable materials displayed at its headquarters, and a free shopping bag giveaway for all members who adopt paper-free electronic statements, or e-statements.
