Nowadays, everyone wants to be sustainable. With green credit cards, the financial sector has also joined the trend.
Because they are composed of recycled materials and reward points for environmentally friendly purchases, these cards encourage eco-friendly spending.
Additionally, they support forestry efforts, allowing Indian customers to make environmental contributions with each swipe.
1. The HSBC Cashback Credit Card and the Live+ Credit Card
The HSBC Cashback Credit Card and the HSBC Live+ Credit Card are the two first green credit cards introduced by HSBC in India.
These cards significantly lessen the environmental impact of traditional card production because they are made from 85% recycled PVC plastic.
HSBC combines sustainability with financial advantages like consistent cashback rewards in an effort to phase out single-use PVC cards by 2026 and achieve a net zero-carbon future by 2030.
2. The Amalgamated Bank World Mastercard with Maximum Rewards
The Amalgamated Bank Maximum Rewards World Mastercard is unique in that it promises to invest in climate solutions rather than fossil fuels.
Although it isn’t sold directly in India, Indian customers can still get it through foreign partnerships.
This card is intended for people who desire more than just green benefits from their financial activities—they want their transactions to help the environment as a whole.
3. Green America Visa Card
The Green America Visa Card gives Indian customers who travel or conduct business abroad a means to support worldwide sustainability efforts.
In keeping with the goals of Green America, this card contributes a percentage of its transaction fees to fair-trade and renewable energy projects.
Additionally, you receive 1% cash back on purchases that you can use on a third-party site.
4. The Futurecard
Although Futurecard is now available as a debit card, its innovative idea offers up to 6% cash back for sustainable purchases, such as taking public transit or buying used apparel.
Its purpose suggests that a credit card version aimed at increasing the appeal of eco-friendly options for Indian consumers will probably be introduced in the future.
5. Credit Card Aspiration Zero
The Aspiration Zero Credit Card comes next.
Their goal is to plant a tree with every transaction in order to plant at least 30 trees every month, which is equivalent to the carbon emissions of an ordinary American household.
This international card combines financial benefits with a dedication to environmental sustainability, and it is aimed for Indians.
They work together with conservation initiatives, emphasizing green awards, carbon offsets, sustainable materials, carbon footprint tracking, and making businesses responsible for promoting sustainability.
