Cogo & Bantotal to offer carbon management solutions to American banks

By Delisha Fernandes

Cogo, the sustainability FinTech that works with banks to help customers lower their carbon footprint, has established a new partnership with Bantotal.

Green finance and sustainable banking solutions are an increasing concern and focus globally, so this partnership aims to introduce Cogo’s expertise in carbon management to retail and business banks within Latin America through Bantotal’s extensive banking network.

Emma Kisby, Cogo CEO, said, “While green finance and carbon management solutions are starting to establish more of a presence within banking experiences in Europe and APAC, there has been very little adoption within the Americas. We expect this partnership with Bantotal to change that. Bantotal has a great presence with over 80 banking partners, so we’re looking forward to introducing these banks to not only the importance of carbon management, but the customer engagement opportunity that comes with it, and wider conversations around green products and solutions.”

Bantotal currently works with more than 70 banking clients in the region, while Cogo has extensive experience integrating carbon management solutions into banks, working with 20 banks across Europe and APAC.

Pablo Silveira from Bantotal , said, “A strategic alliance with Cogo would allow Bantotal to strengthen its commitment to environmental and social sustainability, while offering innovative and sustainable solutions to our clients, setting us apart in the market and contributing significantly to the sustainable development of our communities.”

Cogo established its first banking partnership with NatWest in November 2021 and now works with 20 banking partners globally, with an estimated reach of 30 million potential customers.
