Introduction

Does knowing about how and what you spend really make an impact on habits long term? At Karma Wallet, we’ve seen how making mindful purchases reflects positively not just on the planet but also on personal finances. We’ve captured this effect in what we call the “Karma Score,” – kind of like a credit score for sustainability – and now, we’re taking it a step further with the launch of the Karma Wallet Card.

Since introducing the Karma Score in 2021, 51% of our users have increased their scores after they connected their banking cards to their Karma Wallet accounts and learned about the impact of their purchases.

On average, users boost their Karma Scores by over 3 points, reflecting a shift towards more sustainable and ethical purchasing. Our score range shows the overall impact of your shopping, from negative, neutral to positive, pinpoint exact purchases that  impact your rating.
