ORIX Bank to Contribute to Tree-Planting Program for Customers Who Go Paperless

TOKYO, Japan - January 4, 2021 - ORIX Bank Corporation (“ORIX Bank”) announced today that it has tied-up with Environmental Relations, Certified NPO, and will launch a program of contributing to tree-planting activities when customers opt for paperless delivery of contract-related documents^*1.

ORIX Bank currently delivers repayment schedules and other documents by mail to approximately 64,000 customers who use its loan products including real estate investment loans. Under the new program, ORIX Bank will contribute 30 yen annually for each customer who chooses to have these documents delivered electronically rather than by mail, encouraging customers to go paperless and contributing to forest restoration.

Customers currently under contract can choose the paperless option on the “Customer Page” (in Japanese) on ORIX Bank’s website. New customers will not receive paper documents by mail unless they specifically request mail delivery. Customers can check the details of their contract, repayment schedules, and other information on the Customer Page.

ORIX Bank will continue to encourage digitization and paperless delivery of documents for various services and strive to provide products and services that take sustainability into consideration.

^*1 Documents eligible for paperless delivery: Repayment schedules and fixed interest rate term extension application forms.

“Present Tree,” a project operated by Environmental Relations , Certified NPO, encourages people to plant trees to commemorate an important person or themselves, thereby leading to forest restoration and regional revitalization. Its slogan is “Let’s plant a tree to commemorate our lives!”
As Japan’s birthrate declines and its population ages, Present Tree plants trees in areas where forests should be created, such as disaster-stricken forests, previous development sites, and clear-cut areas located throughout Japan. Urban residents serve as the foster parents of these trees and interact with local residents to grow the trees, contributing to the sound development of forests and local communities.
