Abstract

A system and method allows charitable organizations through banking partners to calculate, collect and distribute monetary donations provided by financial institutions based on those institution's credit or debit cardholders who have opted to make monetary donations to beneficiaries based on their card usage. The process of making monetary donations by individuals who wish to make such donations is thereby automated and simplified, thus encouraging frequent donations. A donation amount is a simple to understand fixed amount times the aggregate number of transactions made using the card.
