“With these cards, Swiper are really hoping to eradicate the need for paper vouchers entirely, which are typically very time consuming to process and issue.” – 01:12
Polly Jean Harrison, Features Editor at the Fintech Times, joins Remy Blaire to discuss the latest developments in the FinTech sector, particularly focusing on sustainability and innovation.
Polly introduces us to Swyper, a UK-based travel fintech that has launched an industry-first fully sustainable eco card. This innovative solution aims to replace the traditional single-use paper and plastic vouchers that are not only wasteful but also cumbersome to process. The new Swyper MasterCard welfare cards allow airline ground staff to instantly distribute payments for food and beverages during flight delays, streamlining the process while ensuring compliance and security. Made from leftover construction timber and sourced from a zero landfill mill, these eco cards are fully recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to paper vouchers.
