Why we invested:
ekko makes sustainability part of everyday financial transactions. Its technology enables banks, payment providers and merchants to embed environmental impact directly into their products, helping customers understand the footprint of their spending and take action by supporting verified climate, nature and social projects.
By integrating impact at the point where millions of everyday financial decisions are made, ekko has the potential to turn small individual actions into meaningful collective impact. With a scalable technology platform, growing partnerships across financial services and payments, and increasing demand for credible sustainability solutions, ekko is well positioned to become a leading infrastructure layer connecting finance, consumers and positive environmental and social action.
“Many tools out there help people understand their environmental footprint, but few help them act on it at scale. ekko turns an ordinary transaction into funding for the protection of habitats, the wildlife that depends on them and the communities who benefit. Their unique and robust model can be used by banks, payment providers and merchants almost anywhere. That reach matters most where essential environmental NGO needs are pressing and regular giving is still taking root. So we're delighted to be partnering with ekko to bring multiple impact benefits to Greece, while supporting their ambitious global expansion."
