Amplify is an application that makes donations to user-chosen climate causes whenever they purchase from an Amplify partner. It donates two percent of the transaction value to climate action causes like Friends of the Earth, Carbonfund, Rainforest Trust UK, and more. The company has recently launched in the UK and Ireland, supported by the Irish government.

“The ultimate goal for Amplify is to build a global donation network of sustainable brands and conscious consumers, creating a collective force of climate action,” he says. “If we can take the positive impact of every sustainable purchase and amplify it with a climate donation, the impact of conscious consumerism can be taken to an entirely new level,” says Conor O’Laoire, CEO and co-founder of Amplify.

Many believe digital finance to be the new normal, but the FinTech domain has gone beyond that. It has integrated into areas of insurance, sustainability, lending, investment, and more. Today, the FinTech space is evolving at a rapid pace as consumers move from traditional financial management to digitized products.

As FinTech expands and transactions integrate, the rise of such superapps is definitely transforming the industry.
