We’re not here to improve money transfer. We’re here to fix it.
1.
We’re changing who pays
Traditional money transfer companies take a cut out of your generosity. The World Bank reports 6% is removed via fees and exchange rate markups. We earn our money from the merchants your loved ones spend on.
2.
We’re breaking the comparison
Every other traditional remittance company is the same. They all talk about who has better exchange rates, who has lower fees, who has faster transfer times.
3.
We’re helping you get established.
We understand that the immigrant journey is difficult. You leave in search of a better life. You arrive with zero credit history and a financial system that seems to be built to keep you out of it. We’re fixing this problem beginning with helping you build positive credit history.
Family is at the center of everything we do
We’re not just changing how money moves, we’re changing the dynamic in a family relationship. It is difficult to stay close while being separated by oceans. Repeated requests for money and a constant need to send remittances are a burden.
Our vision is to change that. Families who use Pomelo enjoy a new dynamic that is now marked by trust, accountability and gratitude. Instead of constantly playing catch-up and hoping money arrives on time, Pomelo makes funds available before any urgent need.
