Barclaycard Breathe

Putting something by for the future

Barclaycard Breathe is the only credit card in the UK that funds projects that tackle climate change.

The idea is, you help the environment just by spending as you would normally. Depending on how much you spend, we will make donations on your behalf that will have a real effect. And it will cost you nothing extra.

Choosing the right projects

We currently support six clean energy projects, all carefully checked to ensure that they verifiably reduce emissions to the highest standard. In the UK, we help fund projects to install solar panels and other clean forms of energy projects in schools and charities.

In developing countries, we support projects by buying and canceling Kyoto compliant carbon credits.
