ProGreen by ProCredit BiH – An account for a better world
How ProCredit Bank is revolutionising sustainability in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Do you know what your bank does with the money you invest? Exactly! I never knew that either. Until I met the ProCredit Bank in Bosnia-Herzegovina. A credit institution from Germany, where sustainability has top priority in all criteria.
I have been a customer of theirs for a good year now and have been following what they are doing to create a healthy environment, not only for future generations, but also for us. Mother Nature with her flora and fauna, as well as her inhabitants, should become healthy again.
A uniquely green company
It is a kind of natural act on the part of the bank, which opened its first branch in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1997 with the aim of rebuilding the war-torn country. The “greenfield” Micro Enterprise supported the economic structure, in which small and medium-sized enterprises were and still are of enormous importance.
Many green projects have already been realized with a view to sustainability and a healthy future. But now they are yet another step ahead of them all.
The sustainable bank has now unveiled its new product, called ProGreen. Once you have chosen this account, you become a player in creating a green future.
Account holders have an insight into all eco campaigns and projects initiated by the bank. As a thank you for every new customer and their newly opened ProGreen account, the bank plants a small tree and names it after the new ProGreen customer. With this symbolic act, the customer and the bank jointly participate in the necessary action to regenerate nature and the environment. Of course, as a new community member, you can plant the sapling yourself if you wish. Personally, I would advise you to do so, as this act will take place in one of the most beautiful natural settings!
Can you eat them!?
The best is saved for last. You get a Mastercard that has never existed before.
It is the first ecological debit card in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be produced from corn fibers. Naturally sustainable in the region, more precisely in Kosovo. Apart from the chip, the card is completely biodegradable. The company has been working on this idea for a very long time, as they have been investing their efforts in reducing plastic waste, which is a huge burden on nature, for some time now.
Holders of this debit card are rewarded with many benefits. One of the most interesting is that when purchasing energy-efficient technologies, a return of 10 percent of the total amount up to a maximum of 200 KM is paid back by the bank. This means that any new appliance from the household goods sector with an A+ rating or higher will be cheaper if it is paid for with this card and a ProGreen account.
