We know first-hand the pain of the diaspora when managing our money back home. Like you, we've relied on friends, family and business partners to receive payments on our behalf, and yes, we've experienced the frustration of money inexplicably going missing or misused, often leading to strained relationships. We believe there is a better way.
We created Tréo to put control of your money back where it belongs - with you. With Tréo, you can seamlessly send, receive and hold your money back home without relying on intermediaries.. And this is only the beginning. We have a lot planned for our communities and we'd love for you to join us on this journey. If you'd like to say hello, please reach out to hello@treofinancial.com, we're always happy to share our experiences and hear yours.
Our mission is to create bold, innovative solutions that break down financial borders for immigrants. We believe that creating an accessible and inclusive financial environment not only improves the financial well-being of our consumers, but also that of their friends, families and communities.
