GreenPay is the Australian owned and operated payments company for those who care about the environment and our collective future.
First and foremost we offer a world class end-to-end payment solution.
And we then use 50% of our profits from every transaction to support nature…not the banks.
Our Manifesto
We live in a transactional world.
Billions of transactions shape it.
Or bend it out of shape.
We transact to grow.
But our growth is only shrinking our natural world.
The world on which our transactions depend.
At GreenPay we figure if transactions got us into this mess.
Then they can get us out of it.
That’s why at GreenPay we make every transaction, make a difference.
To divert millions in payment fees towards the planet.
To help people literally buy a better world.
One transaction at a time.
We are GreenPay.
Join Us.
Our Why
We started GreenPay because, put simply, our environment is collapsing.
We’re losing species at 1,000 times the natural rate, threatening entire ecosystems and their ability to provide essential services like clean air and water.
We’re mostly sheltered from the effects with our comfy homes and well-stocked supermarkets, but it’s only a matter of time until the thin veil of our modern lives starts to break.
We all intuitively know it.
We all instinctively feel it.
Meanwhile only 5% of philanthropic giving is directed towards protecting the future of our planet.
It’s quite simply not enough.
We’re not moving fast enough.
Things are getting worse not better.
So we’re out to help businesses make a difference.
Without having to do anything different. And without having to pay more.
To hurry things along.
Stat.

Our Founding Team
I remember around the age of eight knocking on doors in my local neighbourhood collecting signatures for a petition demanding the government stop deforestation. It stuck with me and I’ve tried to do my bit ever since.
Environmentalism is a strange concept really, shouldn’t we all be equally into protecting the one planet on which we all depend? Seems obvious but turns out it’s not.
Sadly the world’s taught me that if you really want to make a difference it has to make sense commercially, otherwise it’s always in the nice to have bucket, like a pony.
So creating commercial and environmental outcomes has become my focus, because ultimately If you want to make a change, you need to enable people to buy it.
And that’s how GreenPay was born.
I was lucky to witness sustainability in practice as a kid, watching my parents accumulate small collections of rubbish on every walk. When I questioned why they picked it up when they hadn’t been the ones to drop it, collective responsibility was the answer - if they didn’t do it then who would?
This attitude continued into adulthood, from teaching my American housemates to recycle (insufferable housemate, I know), to finding weird and wonderful places to ethically dispose of hard-to-recycle items - and yes, picking up my own piles of rubbish on walks!
Flip to a career in ethical superannuation, where I saw firsthand how difficult it is to encourage individuals to change their behaviours to make a collective impact. Faster and more significant change can come from organisations upstream - as long as it’s a win-win for the business.
That’s why I believe in the impact of GreenPay.
