ekko is a financial technology entity that seeks to turn the tide on climate change. ekko allows users to watch forests grow, see the number of bottles they've prevented from entering oceans, and monitor the carbon impact from their purchases on the marketplace on its app. It also claims to have become the first issuer of recycled plastic debit cards made by Thames Technology. The company argues that this is a catalyst towards planting trees and clearing ocean-bound plastic bottles based on consumer usage. ekko has featured in press entities like iNews, Green & Ethical Checklist with The Guardian, Sifted, and Design Week. It points out that it is the first UK financial technology to join the Mastercard Priceless Planet Coalition alongside Citi Bank, HSBC and Santander. ekko will use the investment towards marketing itself by using a variety of data-led activities, expanding its team, and building new features based on customer feedback, and growing its business.
