Environmental awareness and stewardship is everyone's responsibility. Transactis' EBPP solutions - BillMail and BillerExpress - make it possible for banks, billers and consumers to positively impact the environment by exchanging paper bills for electronic ones, helping to increase paper suppression rates plus reduce the waste and cost associated with postage, paper and printing. Not only are U.S. consumers becoming more socially responsible and "green " but they also like e-mail. E-mail is still the "killer app" that everyone from children to older adults use everyday. As far back as 2002, Bank Technology News reported that 76% of consumers wanted to view their bills from within their e-mail (And this was before they knew that they could also securely pay their bill in the e-mail itself).

Paper suppression and secure e-mail bills are a winning combination for our environment

Even modest usage of e-mail billing is good for the environment. " Eliminating just one million statements a year saves 1,500 trees per year, reduces paper production and helps to lower water consumption, greenhouse gases and solid waste. "
