GoodCoin™: Making Giving Better for Everyone

 

At mid-year 2018, we continue on our mission to grow the world's heart by making charitable giving easier, more accessible and more secure for people everywhere.

Our focus is on offering our GoodCoin product to financial service institutions. It’s all about market adoption, as we have started to onboard banks, credit unions and, most importantly, users on the platform. We are seeing strong interest from some of the nation’s top banks, to empower customers to manage their charitable giving through the GoodCoin platform.

Within financial services we have a differentiated product that meets a clear market need, and we have gained deep knowledge of the sector. The in/PACT team is working hard to tackle the opportunities ahead, as we scale the business and push to accelerate our growth.

Gaining Momentum With Client And User Onboarding

Strategic relationships with our channel partners — including FIS, ICBA Bancard, CSCU and others — continue to strengthen as we bring our first banks and credit unions onboard, with a growing pipeline of others going from demo to contract review. We are expediting implementations with the first wave of financial institutions, and...

...our first users have registered and made donations on the platform. 

Beyond these partner relationships, we have seen interest from some of the country’s top banks, including the country's leading retail bank as well as the largest issuer of credit and debit cards. 

These large-scale opportunities confirm the market need for charitable giving within digital banking. As donors increasingly migrate to online giving platforms such as PayPal ($9B in charitable donations processed last year alone) and social platforms such as Facebook or Amazon, GoodCoin represents an opportunity for banks to bring their customers back into the fold, by helping them manage this important part of their financial lives. 

As our financial service platform continues to roll out, our loyalty offering has also come into its own with a beta program now launching its third phase with a major retailer, with plans for rapid expansion. This program rewards shoppers with a mechanism to help direct giving to nonprofits in their community.

At this critical inflection point in our company’s progress, the increasing volume of activity presents a new set of exciting challenges for the in/PACT team.
