Having gone steady since they first partnered up in 2015, Mastercard and bunq have now expanded their partnership to accelerate the growth of bunq’s card offerings in Europe.
The strengthened collaboration will see Mastercard leverage its international network to help push the bunq Green Card into 30 European countries. bunq Green Card is a metal Mastercard that where the digital bank pledges to plant a tree for every €100 spent. The card was introduced four months ago and has already resulted in the planting of over 100,000 trees.
The card itself is produced in an environmentally friendly way, from packaging to production.
“We are extremely excited to take our partnership with Mastercard to the next level,” said Ali Niknam, founder and CEO of bunq. “Together with our users we have established an easy way for everyone to create a greener world with zero effort. Together we will further expand bunq Green Card throughout Europe.”
Javier Perez, president at Mastercard Europe, added, “How Europeans bank and make payments is evolving. People want and expect the technology they use to not just be safe and simple, they are increasingly looking to have a positive impact on the world they live in. Mastercard believes that the power of partnership can not only drive innovation but also do good. We have successfully partnered with bunq over the last five years and are proud that this exciting partnership continues to grow; driving ease and speed for people across Europe and delivering positive impact for the environment.”
