Banking on Green
At a time when many banks across the United States risk closing their doors, e3bank is getting ready to open theirs. Located in suburban Philadelphia, this soon-to-be-opened bank plans on becoming the greenest bank on the East Coast. e3bank’s mission is based on a “triple bottom line” environmental sustainability philosophy:
building prosperous and sustainable enterprise through sound investments in people and our planet;
protecting the health of our planet’s environment, which supports life and our economy;
increasing social equity by being fair to all people affected by our decisions and by improving the quality of life in the communities we serve.
e3bank plans on encouraging its customers to live a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle by offering preferential rates on green investments and loans. So, if you’re looking to buy a more fuel-efficient car or retrofit the house with solar panels or other energy-conserving devices, e3bank might just be the bank for you.
Even better, all the bank’s employees will be LEED certified and have all the information needed – from finding solar panel installers to applying for government incentives – to guide customers through the process of becoming more sustainable in their homes and businesses.
But anyone wanting to sign on will have to wait until June. That’s when e3bank will open its virtual doors to the public.

And these ARE for sure the people we will support because they give a damn about more than just money.
Or, at the very least, know how they can make money and do it right.
Very forward thinking.
