At Pomelo, we are redefining what’s possible in international money transfer - empowering families to support each other across borders in smarter, more meaningful ways. As the first financial technology platform to seamlessly combine consumer credit with international remittance, we’ve eliminated fees, introduced rewards, and created new opportunities for customers to build credit while sending money.
We are backed by visionary investors and industry pioneers like Keith Rabois (Khosla Ventures, formerly Founders Fund, Opendoor, Square), Kevin Hartz (Xoom, Eventbrite) of A* Capital, as well as cultural icons like The Chainsmokers and The Weeknd.
Join us in building the future of borderless financial access and helping families around the world send more love, not just money.
