The trees are monitored closely using satellite technology and field visits, and are only counted if they survive for more than three years. Ecosia doesn’t plant monocultures or invasive non-native species. The trees planted with Treecard are going to be planted across our 38 reforestation projects and will, of course, be subject to the same strict criteria as all other Ecosia trees: in biodiversity hotspots, and always in collaboration with local communities. If your card is lost or stolen, you will be able to instantly freeze your card. Want to split a bill with your friends? The app will let you do that too.

Treecard will support contactless payments, as well as Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay. Treecard – which was founded by two Londoners – can produce more than 300,000 cards from a single tree. A wooden debit cardĮach Treecard will be unique, since the debit cards are made of sustainably sourced cherry wood.
