The Green Savings Account Mechanism (GSAM) is based on the well-known and well-established savings account mechanism (SAM). A GSAM is a differentiated mechanism with costs and financial benefits similar to those of a SAM, but through which clients have their financial services company (FSC) channel an economic contribution to support Protected Areas (PAs) in the Peruvian Amazon. This contribution does not come from client donations but from company profits, while clients gain access to green benefits, such as discounts on sustainable products and services.
