UOB EVOL Cardholders Can Now Offset 100% Of Their Electricity Carbon Footprint

UOB EVOL cardholders will now be able to offset 100 percent or more of their household electricity carbon footprint for free when they charge SP Group’s (SP) utilities bills to their credit card.

The bank will fund and contribute 2 percent of the billed amount to purchase My Green Credits on the SP app on behalf of the customer.

My Green Credits is an affordable and convenient way for customers to get on the sustainability movement by greening their energy consumption through the purchase of “green credits” in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

The credits will be automatically reflected within the customer’s SP app, with no additional effort required from them when bill payments are made. This is available for both one-time and recurring SP bills payments.

Customers will be able to log on to the SP app to view and select their preferred projects to support with the complimentary My Green Credits.

EVOL card has a strong partnership with over 30 green partners to increase customers’ awareness of sustainability in their daily spending.

Additionally, the bank will also enable customers to easily access green deals, investments and banking products through the UOB TMRW app in November 2022.
