The partnership will begin in the DACH region with plans to expand to larger markets in Europe in the future.
ecolytiq’s main product offerings are integrated through an API that enhances existing digital banking apps with fresh, exciting features. The products give banks the innovative opportunity to offer their customers the entire sustainability value chain. Starting with personalised impact footprint calculations (e.g., CO2), the products go further by engaging customers through behavioral nudging towards smart, sustainable spending choices. Easy access to Gold Standard-certified impact offsetting and ESG investing rounds off the customer experience.
