About TreeCard
TreeCard is building the leading green finance brand. Weâre powered by Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees with 15M monthly active users.
Our first product, TreeCard, is a free top-up debit card that puts 80% of profits directly towards responsible reforestation investments. Weâve signed up over 100,000 users to our waiting list in the first month since announcement (breaking all of Revolut, Monzo and Curve's launch records). Our product sticks, with 40% of all sign ups being referred by a friend or family. Weâre planning to launch in Q1 of 2021.
Over the coming months, we will be expanding to offer a suite of green services, from payments, to lending, to investments.
Lead Backend Engineer
We are looking for an engineer to help us build out the backend that powers TreeCard.
