About ecolytiq

Discouraged by the lack of global efforts to keep pace with the ever-growing urgency of climate change, ecolytiq co-founders 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 40 years of experience in payment, banking, loyalty and scalable data analytics systems. The management team consists of co-founders David Lais, Mirko Kämpf, and Friedrich Hubel.

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.

Joining forces with the founders, the dedicated and passionate ecolytiq team is working every day to make climate action a reality in sustainable banking.
