We're excited to announce a new partnership between GreenFi and United by Blue (UBB) to help clean our waterways! We are welcoming them as a new partner in our Pay What Is Fair program (PWIF)¹. This means you can now direct your monthly contribution to help UBB remove plastic and trash from oceans and rivers. 

Read on for all the details.

United by Blue Has Been Tackling Plastic Pollution for Over a Decade

If you’re not familiar with them, United by Blue is a certified B Corporation that has been a leader in conservation for over a decade. They aren't just about policies; they're about action.

Since their first cleanup, they have removed over 5.3 million pounds of trash from our world's oceans and waterways. They are experts at organizing cleanups and, most importantly, intercepting trash in rivers before it ever reaches the ocean.

We're proud to build on our existing work with United by Blue. In 2025 so far, GreenFi and our members helped UBB remove 2,169 pounds of trash from vital waterways (that’s the weight of a small car!) We're thrilled to continue this momentum by sponsoring multiple community cleanups throughout the US in the coming year. 

How Your Pay What Is Fair Contribution Helps

Our GreenFi Checking and Savings account† has no required fees. Instead, we use a "Pay What Is Fair" (PWIF)¹ model where you choose what to contribute—even if it's $0.

We are thrilled to add United by Blue's non-profit arm, the Waves of Change Foundation, as an official partner. Now, you have the power to choose. When you opt-into PWIF¹,  10% of your contribution supports their mission of making our world's waterways plastic-free, and the rest supports our mission to help individuals like you take climate action.

A Direct Impact on Our Waterways

Your contribution will go directly to funding UBB's cleanup efforts. This has a powerful, visible impact, including:

• Removing plastic and trash from rivers before it pollutes the ocean.

• Protecting wildlife habitats that are choked by pollution.

• Bringing communities together for hands-on environmental action.

Want to Get Involved? 

Your PWIF contributions will help support 3-4 clean-ups over the coming 6 months. Locations are still being finalized, so keep an eye on your inbox and our social media channels for details on these future cleanup events!

We are proud to support an organization that shares our commitment to community and conservation. Ready to send your support? Open the GreenFi app, head to the Pay What Is Fair section in your settings, and select your optional monthly contribution. Change it anytime.
