A Simple Switch That Creates a Lasting Impact
This April, Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution is inviting customers to make a small change that can lead to meaningful, long‑term impact. By enrolling in eStatements, you are not only simplifying the way you bank. You are also helping contribute to global reforestation efforts through our partnership with Team Trees.
For every customer who enrolls in eStatements this month, SBSI will help plant one tree. It is an easy way to go paperless while supporting a cause that benefits the planet and future generations.
What Is Team Trees?
Team Trees is a global environmental initiative created to address deforestation by funding the planting of trees around the world. The initiative works in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, one of the most established and trusted tree‑planting organizations, to ensure trees are planted responsibly and in areas that need them most.
Since launching, Team Trees has helped plant more than 24 million trees worldwide, restoring forests, supporting wildlife habitats, and improving air and water quality across numerous regions. This is not a symbolic effort. It is a proven, large‑scale initiative focused on long‑term environmental impact.
By connecting everyday actions like enrolling in eStatements with this mission, we can collectively create change that goes far beyond our local communities.
How This Helps the World
Planting trees plays an important role in caring for the environment. Trees help improve air quality, absorb carbon dioxide, reduce erosion, and support healthy ecosystems.
Reforestation efforts also help protect wildlife habitats and strengthen communities affected by deforestation and environmental change.
Every tree planted through this initiative is a step toward a healthier planet. While no single action solves everything, collective participation makes a real difference. Each eStatement enrollment contributes to this shared effort, turning routine banking into positive environmental action.
How This Benefits You
Enrolling in eStatements also comes with practical, everyday benefits for you as a customer.
EStatements provide faster access to your banking information, allowing you to view statements as soon as they are available. They help reduce paper clutter and make organizing financial records easier. Digital delivery also offers added security by reducing the risk of lost or stolen mail.
Most importantly, eStatements give you the opportunity to simplify your banking while supporting a cause that matters. It is a small change that aligns convenience, security, and sustainability.
Be Part of the Impact
We look forward to seeing how many trees we can help plant this month and the difference we can make together. Whether your motivation is going paperless, staying organized, or supporting environmental initiatives, enrolling in eStatements is a meaningful way to take action.
