WLTH x Parley
A long-term partnership between WLTH and Parley To drive eco-innovation in the lending and payment industry AND fight plastic pollution in Australia
In a first-of-its-kind partnership, we entered a five-year collaboration with digital lending and payment provider WLTH to empower customers across Australia with an innovative lending solution that offers an everyday way to protect the oceans and support the movement to end marine plastic pollution.
Together we’ll develop and deliver an suite of eco-innovative products and services to a new generation of banking customers who are driven by authentic, impactful commitments to environmental responsibility, offering simple ways for WLTH customers to aid in the protection of Australia’s treasured reefs and coastlines from the threats of plastic pollution.
"With sustainability in our core DNA, we have partnered with Parley for the Oceans and G+D to launch the first recycled ocean plastic cards in Australia.
Not only is it an honor to be one of the first fintech doing so, but it’s also a goal we’ve been aspiring to achieve since the planning phase of building WLTH."
DREW HAUPT — CO-FOUNDER OF WLTH
At the end of 2022, WLTH introduced the Convego® Parley Ocean Card developed with Giesecke+Devrient (G+D). Made of Parley Ocean Plastic®, created from intercepted and upcycled marine plastic waste, the payment card empowers cardholders with an everyday tool to take action for the oceans.
The partnership with WLTH gives us a new platform to scale our global mission to intercept plastic from beaches and coastlines, while simultaneously supporting education initiatives that raise awareness in communities throughout Australia. Together, WLTH and Parley are re-imagining the future of lending and its social impact, creating a practical solution for customers to actively address today’s major ocean threats.
Out of the gate, WLTH has contributed proceeds to our Global Cleanup Network with every new user who activates a WLTH Pay account. WLTH will include additional mechanics such as round-up features, plastic off-setting options, and is hosting events and customer expeditions with Parley to raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of the oceans.
WLTH’s commitment to support our initiatives includes allocating contributions for every home loan towards our Parley Australia operations, supporting cleanups and plastic interception from beaches and coastlines around the country.
“Consumers are looking for new ways to a more sustainable lifestyle. That's why we offer banks our ecologically eco-innovative payment cards. They remind consumers every day of their own and their bank's environmental commitment to protecting the planet.”
