CO2 Tracker is a new feature on MyPB App that allows you to have an in-depth view of your carbon footprint from your card spending to have a better understanding about your environmental impact.

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide (CO2), emitted directly or indirectly by human activities, such as driving cars or producing goods and services.

It is measured in units of CO2 equivalent and is used to quantify the impact of individuals, organisations or products on the environment in terms of their contribution to global warming and climate change.

Currently, the CO2 Tracker is accessible only by PB Visa Signature and PB Visa Quantum credit card holders.

CO2 Tracker provides an estimation of the carbon emission (in kg CO2) linked to your credit card purchases, allowing you to analyse your carbon impact from each transaction for the past 13 months.

The CO₂ Tracker on MyPB App is supported by Verrency, a Climate FinTech firm, who leverages on externally sourced global environmental performance datasets that are used to measure environmental impact and identify climate risks. The emission data is collected from various international agencies and sources.

Please refer to the table below for sample activities and estimated emission.

Understanding your carbon footprint empowers you to take meaningful steps towards reducing it. You may then consider changing your lifestyle and taking energy conservation measures.

The CO2 Tracker is supported by Verrency. The calculation integrity is assured by reputable independent auditors.
