How to go green with your student loans

As a high school or college-aged student, you're probably environmentally conscious in ways that go well beyond your parents' generation. The good news is that you'll now be in an atmosphere that supports that style of life. At most colleges and universities, the faculty, staff and student body are forever vigilant about encouraging green living in a number of ways, from recycling electronic waste to using energy more efficiently.

But did you ever consider that you can even carry that environmental awareness over to your financial life? Here are a couple of ways you can incorporate green principles into that area:

Do your student banking online

Save lots of paper by forgoing hard copy statements for E-statements and opting into online banking.

Sign up for automatic student loan payment deductions

After you've graduated and begin repaying your loans, simply sign up for automatic repayment. This will allow Citizens Bank to electronically deduct your student loan payments from your student bank account. You'll save paper and money, since most banks offer interest rate reductions to customers who use automatic payment plans.

And, if you have a TruFit Student Loan™, you can qualify for a 0.50% interest rate reduction for automating payments from any eligible Citizens Bank account.
