Every transaction.
One thousandth of a euro.
A world transformed.
Milli is a voluntary banking standard that transforms every financial transaction into an act of solidarity. €0.001 — imperceptible for each. Transformative at scale.
Solidarity still relies on individual willingness.
Current donation systems are fragmented, episodic, and emotional. They depend on campaigns, guilt, and moments of crisis. The result: solidarity fluctuates. It should be constant.
What if solidarity became a property of systems?
Clean water doesn't reach homes through generosity. It reaches them through infrastructure. Social security doesn't depend on campaigns. It is structural.
"The question is not 'who wants to give?' but 'how do we design a system where solidarity is built in by default?'"
Milli applies this principle to banking. Every outgoing transaction automatically generates a micro-contribution of €0.001. Enabled by default, disabled at any time. Not a donation. Not a tax. A new standard.
Radical simplicity.
Four steps. No app. No account. No friction. The mechanism is embedded directly into banking infrastructure.
Transaction
You make a standard banking payment.
Micro-contribution
€0.001 is automatically added. Enabled by default, disableable at any time.
Milli Foundation
Funds are consolidated by the independent foundation.
Social impact
Redistributed to qualified organisations with full transparency.
Imperceptible for each.
Transformative at scale.
The power of Milli lies in multiplication. One thousandth of a euro means nothing alone. Multiplied by billions of transactions, it creates a permanent solidarity infrastructure.
| Scenario | Transactions / year | Annual contribution | Equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot phase | ~600 million | €0 | 12 social inclusion projects |
| National adoption | ~4.8 billion | €0 | Equivalent to a major foundation |
| Multi-country | ~15 billion | €0 | New transnational solidarity fund |
And nobody has given a single cent more than one thousandth of a euro per transaction. Projections based on public data from Worldline, Bancontact, and the National Bank of Belgium.
A standard. Not a product.
Milli is not a banking service. It is a standard that banks adopt. A framework that defines how micro-solidarity is embedded into payment infrastructure.

Realistic projections. Measurable impact.
Based on public transaction data from the National Bank of Belgium, Worldline, and Bancontact, here is what systemic solidarity could achieve.
Partnership with 1 Belgian bank. 500,000 active clients. ~600M transactions/year. Funding for 12+ social organisations.
4 major Belgian banks. ~4.8B transactions/year. Stable funding equivalent to a major Belgian foundation.
Belgium + Netherlands + Luxembourg. ~15B transactions/year. A new transnational structural solidarity fund.
The infrastructure is ready.
Society is waiting.
Three convergences make this the right moment for systemic solidarity.
PSD2 opened the infrastructure
The European Payment Services Directive has created the technical and regulatory framework for innovation within banking payment systems. The pipes are open.
Transactions have gone digital
Over 80% of transactions in Belgium are now electronic. Every payment is a programmable event. The cost of adding a micro-contribution is marginal.
The demand for structural responsibility
Citizens and institutions increasingly expect responsibility to be embedded in systems — not left to individual goodwill. Milli is the mechanism that makes this possible.
