Paying consumers for green choices: FinTech raises US$6.5m and acquires fan rewards startup 

Future, a climate-positive FinTech company, has announced US$6.5 million in additional funding from new and existing investors, bringing their total capital raised to US$11 million. This injection of fresh capital positioned Future to acquire Fan Rewards—an AI-driven rewards platform for fans of artists and influencers. 

Future’s award-winning FutureCard Visa Debit Card leads the market with 5%+ cashback on eco-friendly purchases, such as taking public transit, buying secondhand, and shopping at over 50,000 sustainable businesses. The Future app complements this offering with additional rewards such as 10% cashback on renewable energy purchases. Future helps thousands of families and individuals across the US earn more cash and emit less carbon every day. 

Mike Winterfield, Founder and Managing Partner at Active Impact Investments and Board Member at Future, said: “Future’s innovative approach to incentivise carbon reduction is exactly the kind of disruption we need to rapidly address climate change at scale. The consumer demand for climate-friendly choices is growing and Future both quantifies the benefit of green purchases while making them accessible on any budget.”
