About
Our Mission
Every day we are responsible for emitting greenhouse gases – but our impact remains unclear and hard to grasp. With Truly, you can track, analyse and understand your carbon footprint based on your transactions. Our mission is to empower you to make more sustainable choices in your everyday life.

Features
Join the dark green side
All your transactions in one place.
Truly offers you the convenience of a digital bank with all the features you have come to know and love – coupled with the security and trust of a regulated traditional bank.
Full control over every transaction.
With Truly, you get insights into the sustainability of each of your transactions for the first time. Understand what really matters and directly offset transaction specific emissions.
Do good with every payment.
For each CHF 100 spent with the Truly card and/or payment app, we will plant one tree on your behalf. The virtual forest lets you keep track of all the trees you have planted and gives you an overview of the projects you are supporting.
Track your carbon footprint.
The integrated carbon footprint analysis allows you to understand how sustainable your spending behaviour is in real-time. By using Truly you are able to lay the foundation for a sustainable future.
Offset your carbon footprint.
Although we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions thanks to a sustainable lifestyle, we can not eliminate them entirely. To offset unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions, Truly allows you to do so directly in the app by supporting a variety of certified projects.

FAQ
Question? Answer.
What is Truly?
Truly is a Switzerland-based neobank focused on helping people to become more sustainable. Our mission is to empower individuals to take climate action in their everyday lives and to keep them motivated in pursuing their sustainability efforts.
Is my money safe with Truly?
Truly will be partnering with a licensed and registered financial institution meaning that your money is as safe as it would be with any other bank. Deposits are insured up to CHF 100’000 and all data is stored on servers based in Switzerland.
What type of card do you offer?
Initially we’ll be offering a prepaid credit card which can be topped up manually or automatically.
What does Truly cost?
Nothing! We believe everyone should have the opportunity to support the environment so we’ve decided to offer Truly for free.
Why did you choose to plant trees?
As the largest plants on our planet, trees are vital. They provide us with oxygen, store carbon, stabilise the soil and animate the world’s wildlife. It is vital that forests, rainforests and trees are conserved and sustainably managed worldwide. A study by ETH Zurich also confirms that there is no more effective way to combat climate change than reforestation.
Where do you plant trees?
With help from our friends at Tree Nation we plant your trees across the globe in Madagascar, Haiti, Nepal, Indonesia, Mozambique, Kenya, and many other countries. In the future, we plan to allow you to select your home country as your trees’ home, giving you the chance to lead the change in your own community.
When is Truly launching?
We are working tirelessly to get our Truly product up and running as soon as possible. Join our community and don’t miss a single step in our development. We will keep you updated via our waiting list and social media channels.
How can I support Truly?
The best way you can support us is by joining the cause we are so passionate about. Being a member of our community, having the opportunity to set the standard in sustainability for yourself and your friends without disrupting your lifestyle, is how you can lead the change for our shared mission.
Is Truly a Bank?
No, Truly is not a bank nor does it hold a banking or any other kind of license that would allow it to operate as a bank or directly accept funds from clients. Instead, Truly is partnering with an established bank that already holds a banking license. Once we launch any client funds will be held by our partner bank and not Truly.
Is Truly a regulated entity?
No, Truly is currently neither regulated nor supervised by a government body or regulator. At this time Truly does not seek to open client accounts or accept funds from clients. Instead Truly is partnering with a bank that does already hold a banking license.
Where is Truly based?
Truly is based in St. Gallen, Switzerland. We currently work out of the Startup-Lab run by the University of St.Gallen (HSG). For clarity, Truly is not affiliated with the University of St.Gallen (HSG).
