General Information

VERD is a Swiss prepaid payment card launched in 2025, allowing customers to make payments at all existing card terminals—just like using a debit or credit card.

The key difference compared to other card solutions: With VERD.cash, 50% of the transaction fees flow directly into the local municipal fund — that is, into the residents' community of the purchasers — thereby benefiting the local population. The remaining 50% goes into a national pool managed by the VERD cooperative, which supports charitable and community-focused projects.
