“Can a nonprofit-exclusive fintech become the full financial operating system for the U.S. nonprofit sector by removing the friction of traditional corporate banking and compliance?”
Charity Charge is a public benefit corporation (PBC) that has built a vertical financial services stack aimed exclusively at the nonprofit sector. Starting with a nonprofit-focused corporate credit card, it has expanded into bookkeeping, gift card distribution, and compliance services, positioning itself as an all-in-one financial OS for nonprofits. The card is underwritten on organizational (not personal) credit, removing a key friction point for nonprofits that lack personal-guarantee culture.
Charity Charge discloses Commerce Bank as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Charity Charge does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Commerce Bank.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Charity Charge's stack: Banking / BaaS (Commerce Bank); Sponsor bank (Commerce Bank).
Charity Charge is headquartered in Austin, TX.
