Case Study: CarbonPay launches carbon-offsetting cards and brings climate action to payments with Stripe

CarbonPay launches carbon-offsetting cards in 20 weeks with Stripe

CarbonPay, a company dedicated to combating climate change, was founded to fight greenwashing and create a simple, automatic way for businesses to contribute to climate action through their everyday purchases. Their challenge was to quickly build and launch a pioneering financial product that embedded carbon removal into payment cards. They partnered with Stripe to achieve this mission.

Using Stripe Issuing, Connect, and Treasury, CarbonPay built its payment platform to offer virtual and physical cards. Integrating Stripe Climate allowed them to seamlessly direct funds to vetted carbon-removal technologies. With Stripe's solutions, CarbonPay launched in just 20 weeks from idea to market. The result is a transparent system where every $1.50 spent automatically offsets 1 kg of CO2, providing customers with verifiable climate impact and a tangible alternative to greenwashing.
