Transaction-level carbon footprint for a green FinTech
A green FinTech partnered with Brainpool to track carbon at the transaction level - turning everyday spend into an actionable environmental signal.
Where it started.
Consumers want to understand the environmental impact of how they spend, but raw transaction data carries no carbon information and merchant categories are noisy and inconsistent.
- 01
Engineered a clean pipeline from messy transaction and merchant data.
- 02
Built a model that maps each transaction to an emissions estimate.
- 03
Exposed the signal through an API the product team could build on.
- 04
Tuned the model against feedback so accuracy improves with use.
What it delivered.
Every transaction carries a transparent carbon estimate.
The FinTech shipped a differentiated, sustainability-led product.
A foundation that sharpens as more data and feedback arrive.
