Remember what they’re building..

We are solving a well-regarded challenge in global finance. Over the past decade, the emerging world has come to the fore; as friction in cross border trade has decreased, the ability to pay for that trade has increased. And whilst the market is trying to solve this problem, looking at it through a western prism, it falls short.
Legacy banks tried many years ago, failed, and now don't have the appetite to try again. On the other hand, FinTech's also struggle to solve the problem because they lack custody of their own funds, causing them to bump up against the legacy banks who have the ultimate control over how funds are processed. Pair these perceived downsides and reputations risk with little appetite from shareholders, who are inherently dubious of emerging markets, and you find lack of interface to close trading loop.
As such, the problem is that emerging market finds themselves in-between two ideals, one of trying to globalise whilst at the same time trying to minimise pressure from western global infrastructures. Our mission at Tintra is to navigate down the middle of those two ideals, by building a regulatory framework familiar to the west, but built on a KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) framework that's as culturally sensitive to these markets as it is advanced.
Operating as a fast-growth regulatory and financial Deep Tech company, we are building a clearing bank designed solely for emerging markets clients, the first we know to exist, with regulation at the forefront.
