Zero: Sustainable Money App

Today is Earth Day. Earth Day, celebrated on April 22, is a global event to raise awareness and take action for the environment. It started in 1970 and now involves over a billion people worldwide doing things like clean-ups, tree planting, and promoting sustainability. This year, the theme is energy - and not just the kind that powers the planet. The kind that powers your home. That shows up on your bills. That you can take control of. Our latest blog breaks down the everyday upgrades that lower emissions and cut costs - from smart thermostats to insulation hacks and energy-efficient appliances. No greenwashing. No jargon. Just things that work. 🎯 Practical tips 🌍 Real impact 💷 Money saved Because sustainability shouldn’t feel overwhelming - or expensive. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/ehJmqP-Z

Take a bow Zero: Sustainable Money App– the heroes of sustainable payments. We’re proud to have played a part in bringing your bold vision to life. Team Zero set out to create something extraordinary: a personal account, money app and debit card that empowers eco-conscious consumers to track their environmental impact and get sustainable lifestyle insights. Their programme includes features like GreenScore® (using Mastercard’s Carbon Calculator powered by Doconomy), virtual cards, and sustainable physical cards, with Apple Pay and Google Pay launching soon. Zero is building a community of like-minded sustainable customers and has launched an innovative Community Share Option scheme to help shape engagement with their vision and grow the movement for planet-positive finance. But turning that vision into reality required more than a great idea. It took collaboration. As Zero’s BIN sponsor, we worked behind the scenes to bring together all the moving parts – regulatory compliance, technical integrations, and account solutions – ensuring their programme was ready to shine. This wasn’t just a project; it was a partnership. And now, Zero is introducing a payment solution that has the potential to inspire real change. Whether you’re launching something new or enhancing your existing programme, Zero’s story shows what’s possible when innovation meets the right support.

Last Friday some of the Zero team ventured into the stunning Brecon Beacons for a day of team building in nature. The team tested their communication, trust and strategy, all while taking in the stunning view of Cribarth Hill - the sleeping giant. Standing among the peat bogs was a powerful reminder of their vital role in carbon removal. A big thanks to the team at Call of the Wild Ltd for a fantastic day, and to FinTech Wales for the competition. To find out more about what this great team is building head over to zero.co.uk
