Green Mortgage
Citizens Bank is Canada’s first financial institution which is fully functional, but is with virtually no physical location. It owns an office in Vancouver and Toronto, and a single branch in Calgary. Although seemingly small, the company has assets of $1.9 billion and 33,000 members across Canada. The structure of Citizens Bank does contain its National Contact Centre in Vancouver, which is available to clients for financial transactions over the phone. It also includes an online network of 2,800 Automated Teller Machines. Being one of 22 domestic financial institutions in the country, Citizens Bank follows the same standards as most large banking institutions. What makes Citizens Banks different, however, is that there are no fees associated with its services. Secondly, Citizens Bank is greatly committed to corporate social responsibility. It runs several environmentally beneficial programs such as its Green Mortgage- which consists of competitive rates, a complimentary arrangement of “green” products, and a free energy efficiency review. Founded in 1997, Citizens Bank has provided countless Canadians with simple, eco-friendly banking solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
