What “On Earth” Is Cardtonic?

Cardtonic is a digital payment solution in your pocket. Simply put, our easy-to-use platform helps people buy and sell unused gift cards, access a virtual dollar card, buy gadgets at discounted prices and pay bills.

So you see, everything “digital payments” in one app on your smartphone.



So, What is Upskill?

Following the resounding success of Upskill 1.0 , where we empowered 15 tech enthusiasts with new MacBooks, this is the next chapter in our initiative: Upskill 2.0. Building on the momentum from the first edition, Upskill 2.0 promises to be even more impactful.

Upskill 2.0 is not just an upgrade—it's a redefinition of our commitment to the tech community. This time, we're expanding our reach: more participants will receive brand-new MacBooks to accelerate their tech journey. Additionally, we are introducing monetary benefits to further support their growth and development.



Why Upskill?

Why not? Tech is fun. We appreciate tech. And we are willing to encourage enthusiasts to follow that path so we don’t all go back to the stone age 😎.

Also, as a company with a give-back mindset, we believe we owe some of our success to the community, and giving back is a way to pay back the debt.
