Your savings are ready to E-Volve
In 2021, people have never been more conscious of their impact on the environment and many of us are looking to make choices that help the planet.

At RCI Bank, we want our customers to feel confident that their money is being used to make a positive influence on the world, which is why we have launched the RCI Bank E-Volve Savings 14 Day Notice Accountto give our customers the choice to save for a better tomorrow. Funds deposited into our new RCI Bank E-Volve Saver product will be used exclusively for the financing of electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as well as future green transportation projects.

Over the past year, we have used our expertise to show savers how to maintain a more sustainable lifestyle on a tight budget.

Leading by example, we are signed up to the SME Climate Hub pledge – whereby RCI Bank have committed to halving our greenhouse gas emissions based on 2019 levels by 2030, achieving a net-zero position by the same year and disclosing progress annually. To achieve this, our internal Green Team are helping the business reduce professional travel, plastic waste, and supercharging digitalisation with a goal to eliminate paper use.

As of today, RCI Bank is operationally a net zero company. We calculate our carbon footprint and we’re compensating for our remaining operational emissions by contributing to and collaborating with a broad range of certified, international climate change projects. Now, the final step is offering products to our customers so that they can get involved in getting to net-zero.

Alice Altemaire, CEO of RCI Bank UK says: “RCI Bank is passionate about futureproofing your finances and helping you save. Following on from the COP26 conference in Glasgow, and a year since the UK Government’s announcement to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2030, we are delighted to launch the RCI Bank E-Volve Saver product.  As the last two weeks have shown, we are living in a time where consumers are more conscious of their own environmental impact and are looking to live life in more sustainable ways.

All deposits from the RCI Bank E-Volve Savings 14 Day Notice Account will be used exclusively for the financing of our green transportation ambition; in the first instance this will be our lending for electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging infrastructure. We foresee the RCI Bank E-Volve Savings 14 Day Notice Account developing into a full suite of green products, in the hope that this evolution will support the switch to net-zero vehicles even further, safeguarding the planet for generations to come."
