Donating to charity is hard. It takes time to find non-profits you support, do your research, and make donations happen with any frequency. And most people don't realize that even small donations can have a large impact over time.

That's where Olive comes in. We help you round up the digital spare change from your credit or debit card spending and donate the amount to one of the vetted non-profits on our platform, automatically every month. That way you can feel good about spending money, knowing the change will help make a difference.

Digital spare change is the spare change you get back when you purchase an item or service with your credit or debit card. When you buy lunch for $7.80, the spare change is the 20c left over.

Olive adds up all of your spare change every month by rounding up each transaction on your bank or credit card statement then subtracting the purchase amount from that figure. The spare change from each transaction is summed up to reach your monthly donation amount.

Based on historical averages the typical user’s spare change will amount to approximately 1% of monthly spending, or $10 in change for every $1000 in spending.

If you are in the US, Canada and UK, we offer the ability to link most debit cards and credit cards. We are working hard to bring this feature to other regions!

The other feature; you can simply add your donations amount that you desire to commit, We strongly recommend to donate 1% on your total spend every month
