May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but for those who struggle with mental health issues, finding support is a year-round challenge.
T-CETRA is a leading financial technology solutions enabler that employs approximately 175 team members, hailing from 30 countries and speaking 20 different languages.
15 years ago, the founders set out to improve the quality of life for the underbanked by creating a world of digital and financial inclusion. Before it became a household term, they witnessed a widening digital divide—the fissure between the digital “haves” and “have nots”, a large percentage of which is the underbanked. The “have nots” lack access to basic products and services that their banked peers take for granted. Today, there are 84.8 million underbanked in the U.S., approximately 25% of the population. T-CETRA continually seeks opportunities to overcome the obstacles they encounter every day due to their income level and/or place of residence.
