Sign Up Flow

The sign up flow confused me. What's going on here?

Investments are made via an ACH transfer from your “funding” account. Typically this is your checking account. This is the account Climatize connects to.

Once you’ve set up your funding accounts, they apply to all your future investment activity at Climatize. You only need to set up these accounts once.

Why can’t you just charge the contribution to my credit card?

Charging a credit card incurs significantly higher fees. Sometimes these fees can be over 3% per transaction. To ensure the fundraising issuer receives as much of their investments as possible, we’re driven to reduce fees like this at every step of the process. The most cost effective way to transfer your money to a project is by doing an ACH transfer from your bank account. The fees in this case are less than 1% which means that your investment goes a little bit further!

Is my account information secure?

Yes. We ask for Social Security Numbers during the investment process in order to run a standard background check on our investors – this helps us prevent risks like fraud and money laundering which is typical for most investing platforms and financial institutions. The Social Security Numbers are encrypted so that we do not have regular access to your SSN. Your funding account information is only used to perform ACH transfers. All data in this context is safeguarded using multiple layers of security, including encrypted transfer and storage of your data. All access to this data is logged for auditing purposes.  By integrating our financial account access via Plaid, your accounts are protected by security practices which are continuously being improved upon.
