The Transparency Card accesses government databases and sends notifications when politicians spend taxpayers’ money. It mimics a familiar way for people to track personal credit card spending. For example, if a politician spends $23,000 on a private jet, a real-time push notification is received.
The Transparency Card uses features native to phones to relay this information in the most straightforward format possible. Every Brazilian with a phone is transformed into a potential watchdog of public money, simplifying and democratising access to this complex data.
