Our technology analyzes individual banking transactions enabling you to become a sustainability hub.
Our comprehensive End-2-End solution covers the entire Sustainability-as-a-Service ® value chain, from environmental impact calculations, content & context, behavioral change to footprint compensation and ESG investment.
We use the Open Payment Standard released by the EU-Open Sustainability Registry. We have adopted the Open Standard's methodologies, as it utilizes the newest in scientific research and machine learning to transform payment data into country-specific and personalized environmental footprints.
By using our solution, financial institutions can increase customer engagement and loyalty by getting to know their customers better: what matters to them, how far they are in their sustainability journeys and where they want to put their money.
With our solution, financial institutions drive climate action. By using consumers’ rising interest in sustainability, banks can both offer unique and exciting financial products, while at the same time staying ahead of the curve in terms of compliance with new regulations.
Our software is available either as a single API SaaS service, on-premise or via our Open Banking partners and processors. In addition, we offer a brandable White Label solution with no integration required on the bank's side.
Our calculations, which are based on the Open Payment Standard, are constantly updated and country-specific as to empower customers with the best, personalized environmental impact information.
Bank customers learn more about their environmental footprint through feedback loops and smart insights, helping them to make more sustainable purchasing decisions. This in turn allows banks to develop detailed individual customer profiles.
Users are encouraged to offset their environmental footprint by donating to certified environmental organizations via our marketplace, which keeps them engaged through regular progress updates.
With ecoInvest, users can further progress in their sustainability journeys by selecting from profile-based ESG investment recommendations that align with their personal interests and values for environmental and social causes.
Tomorrow is defining what banking will look like in the future. And the future is looking green. By providing users with their personal environmental footprints through the integration of ecolytiq’s Sustainable-as-a-ServiceⓇ software, Tomorrow empowers their customers to reflect on their consumption behavior and to engage more deeply with climate action.
It was a mixture of ecolytiq’s unique End-2-End value proposition, the country-specific calculations, the Open Standard, and the excellent statistical models that led Tomorrow to work with ecolytiq. Tomorrow sees the integration of the environmental footprinting feature within its app as a milestone in all things transparency and education. Tomorrow thereby helps customers see the tangible effects sustainable banking can have as customers have more choices and opportunities to let their money shape the future they want to see.

“Footprinting empowers our users to play an active part in averting the climate catastrophe. The feature not only shows the monetary price attached to transactions but also the CO2 balance. We make the cost for our planet transparent and enable our customers to take responsibility themselves.”
Inas Nureldin
Co-founder of Tomorrow
"Visa is committed to an inclusive, sustainable, and equitable future. We are proud to launch a CO2 footprinting feature in Europe in collaboration with ecolytiq and Tomorrow. This is a great example of how as a ‘network of network’ we can empower consumers to understand their environmental impact, providing them with the tools to make more informed and environmentally conscious decisions."
Douglas Sabo
Chief Sustainability Officer at Visa
“Many consumers, especially Millennials and Digital Natives, strive for a sustainable lifestyle, for the good of the planet. But most of us don’t even realise the impact of our daily behaviour. Banking transactions reflect peoples’ lives, so we are happy to play a part in helping consumers more accurately determine their impact on the environment with the help of technology.”

Discouraged by the lack of global efforts to keep pace with the ever-growing urgency of climate change, ecolytiq cofounders Ulrich Pietsch and David Lais decided to encourage action by giving the power to the people through rethinking the role retail banking has to play in the fight against climate change.
The founders are a team of seasoned entrepreneurs with more than 50 years of experience in payment, banking, loyalty and scalable data analytics systems. This team consists of Ulrich Pietsch (CEO), David Lais (CPO), Mirko Kämpf (CTO), Frederic Westerberg (CSO), Friedrich Hubel (COO), and Richard Malley (CFO).
Realizing that climate change is one of the largest issues facing humanity, the founders are tapping into their wealth of experience to do their part in transforming the financial industry into a sustainability powerhouse.
