Making the World a Better Place with Every Credit Card Swipe

Making the World a Better Place with Every Credit Card Swipe

By Jon Lombardo on January 14, 2011

SwipeGood is a credit card service that rounds your purchases up to the nearest dollar and donates the difference to a charity of your choice. The idea is a variation of the IDEO + Bank of America “Keep the Change” program and looks to make charity a natural and effortless part of your consumption.

SwipeGood currently aggregates your “change” and donates it at the end of the month to your selected charity. The average user currently donates $20 per month right now.

Consider signing up and making the world better one swipe at a time.
