Abstract

Since Javelin Strategy & Research extolled the environmental benefits of online banking and bill-pay in 2003 with what we believe was the nation’s first research report on green banking, environmental issues have grown in importance with bank customers. Green-banking habits have yet to take hold, however. That’s largely because consumers aren’t aware of how they can make a difference and partly because financial institutions have yet to find the incentives and action steps that will compel indifferent consumers to join the green parade. Javelin’s analysis suggests that consumers can be divided into three camps - Greens, Moderates and Skeptics - based on their inclination to respond to green marketing and value green banking initiatives.
