Made from plastic that would have otherwise gone out to sea
Using upcycled litter collected in areas that are highly likely to feed into the water, these eco-friendly debit cards prevent more waste from entering our oceans.
An estimated 6.3 billion payment cards are shipped around the world each year,1 so we’re taking action to turn the tide on the plastic waste problem. U.S.Bank partners with organizations to responsibly source materials and reduce our impact on the environment.

When you choose an eco-friendly card design, you’re helping prevent more plastic from washing out to sea and reducing your personal plastic footprint.
Better for the oceans
Plastic can live in the ocean for hundreds of years, contaminating seawater, entangling animals and damaging fragile coral reefs. Our eco-friendly debit cards are a more sustainable alternative that helps protect our planet and addresses a growing concern over pollution in our waterways.
Look for the Second Wave™ turtle logo to easily identify eco-friendly debit card options.
Safer than cash
From gas to groceries, your eco-friendly debit card is great for everyday purchases. Use it instead of cash – it’s like having exact change every time you pay. Plus, debit cards come with more protection than cash:
- With zero fraud liability,5 you’re not responsible for unauthorized purchases.
- If you misplace your card, you can use the U.S. Bank Mobile App to lock it to prevent use and unlock it when you find it.
- With contactless payments6 when you go shopping, you don’t have to touch the card reader to pay. Simply tap your card on the reader to make a purchase.
