This development highlights Paynetics’ commitment to advancing environmental, social, and governance goals while improving the financial landscape with its Embedded Finance suite. Through its approach, Novus has upgraded traditional banking by helping conscious consumers make a difference while seamlessly integrating financial services with event-driven positive impact initiatives. This corporate model allows users to effortlessly contribute to causes they feel emotionally connected to. In essence, with every transaction, a portion of revenue is automatically directed to an NGO selected by the customer. Through the Novus app, users can further track the carbon footprint their purchases generate and easily offset them via certified Carbon Removal Projects.
Paynetics aims to further improve such offerings while expanding the ESG ecosystem across Europe, helping clients to push forward ESG initiatives through the corporate Embedded Finance service.
