IDEMIA and Treezor Launch the First Eco-friendly Payment Card by Onlyone, a French Fintech Firm
- IDEMIA offers the payment card with the highest
- concentration of recycled PVC on the market
- Onlyone, acting on Treezor’s behalf, is the first French
- fintech to bring to market an environmentally friendly card
IDEMIA teamed up with Treezor over three years ago to
develop a broad range of groundbreaking products like
metal cards and new look / new-feel cards – colored layers,
bushed metal finish, transparent – targeting key French
neobanks and fintechs.
This collaboration between IDEMIA, the global leader in
Augmented Identity and Treezor the French banking-as-a-
service market leader, has today culminated in the launch
of the first ever eco-friendly card by a fintech in France.
This move ties in with both companies’ green initiatives
while meeting consumer demand for sustainable solutions.
Backed by longstanding design, development and
production know-how, IDEMIA was able to offer Treezor a
low-natural-resource-consuming card without
compromising at all on security or end-user convenience.
As part of its environmental strategy, IDEMIA reaffirms its
commitment to move away from today’s linear take-make-
waste model and fundamentally rethink the way we design,
use and reuse plastics.

Onlyone2, a startup that markets itself as the first ever
genuinely environmentally friendly fintech, will be the first
recipient of this new 85+% recycled PVC card that is due to
be launched with its existing customers in September 2020.
“We strive to adopt green practices throughout our
operations by going paperless and developing digital and
eco-friendly bank card solutions. Bank cards are
manufactured from industrial waste-based recycled PVC in
line with circular economy principles, which seek to cut
waste of natural resources and minimize industrial waste.
IDEMIA also obtained “Environmental Claim Validation
Summary” certification from its recycled PVC supplier “UL
Environment Inc.” said Amanda Gourbault, Executive Vice-
President for Financial institutions activities at IDEMIA.
“We are grateful Treezor and IDEMIA give us this amazing
opportunity to be the first Fintech in France to offer an eco-
responsible card. With this new card, we are laying the first
brick in supporting our customers towards a low-carbon
lifestyle” said Kamel Nait Outaleb, Co-founder
