Caribbean Problem

The Caribbean doesn’t lack money. It lacks a system.

Across islands, currencies, and banks, money gets trapped in slow, expensive, and fragmented rails—holding back MSMEs, families, and the region’s growth.

Structural problems holding the Caribbean back

◷ 01

Payments are slow and expensiveCross-island payments route through correspondent banks, taking 3–5 days with fees as high as 7–9%.

⇄ 02

FX is inefficient and USD-dependentMost island currencies route through USD, adding cost, delay, and FX risk.

▥ 03

MSMEs lack access to working capitalCredit still depends on collateral rather than real-time cashflow data.
