Why do you need a Third Account?
The Third Account is your sustainable development account designed to help individuals and businesses recover up to $1,500 annually in inefficient and wasteful financial and Loyalty transactions. It acts as a digital tool to capture, amplify, and utilise these lost funds. In doing so, it provides our members with the valuable funds needed to make sustainability goals aligned with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
A Third Account gives you access to funds which enables Sustainable Developments.
One Giant Account for Mankind.
Because We Care.
Examples of how we lose these monies?
  1. 10's of billions of dollars worth of Loyalty Points, Rewards, Air Miles are left unclaimed or simply expire each year.
  1. We pay expensive fees on our payments especially on bank cards that are in many cases avoidable.
  1. Businesses will spend billions rewarding their customers who make the world more sustainable and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

A complete audit trail is provided and 100% of the funds transfer with no fees.
How does the Third Account create Sustainable Development Impacts?
The Third Account uses the funds to create a "capital guarantee" which allows our partner Multilateral Development Banks to lend between 3X to 10X the "guarantee amount" at very low interest and long durations to SDG Projects. Without the capital guarantee these SDG projects would never get funded. If the Third Account members contributed £10m then this would result in up to £100m worth of SDG projects being created.
Who can open a Third Account?
Any living human being or registered business can open a Third Account. Think of your Third Account as "One Giant Account for Mankind."

The MDB is responsible for managing the funds and for creating the "capital guarantee" enabling it to lend between 3X to 10X the guarantee amount at very low interest and long durations to SDG Projects.
Why would businesses load funds into my Third Account?
We expect business especially Loyalty Brands will reward your Third Account with SDG Funds. Rather than buying a digital advert with Google, a business may see its better value to engage their customers showing them they care about Sustainability and so make a SDG Impact via your Third Account. Many businesses want to be Sustainable but also need to offer proof to their customers that they are not greenwashing which they can do using the Third Account.
What is a SDG 1% Impact Brand?
These are businesses that enable their Third Account customers to opt in and tick their "Pay Sustainably" button [✔] which adds 0.125% to the purchase price resulting in funding worth 1% of the Purchase to fund SDG projects. A £100 purchase would mean £1 worth of SDG Impacts are enabled courtesy of the brand and their customer.
An example of how to make a cost neutral £200 SDG Impact?
By switching to paying bills using Open Banking rather than with their credit card our members could see 0.25% of the transaction value loaded into their Third Account by our partner brands. On £10,000 worth of purchases this would mean £25 is added to their Third Account which gets amplified by 8X creating £200 worth of SDG Impacts.
