The meaning behind the name

The name "Gold Pomelo" carries a rich and meaningful story. The term "Gold" (金) is derived from the Chinese word "金融," which means "finance," highlighting our core focus in the fintech industry. Pomelo, a popular and beloved fruit in Asia, signifies abundance and prosperity and is also our founder's favorite fruit. 

By combining these two elements, we encapsulate our mission: “Where money flows &  profit grows” to provide financial solutions that are as valuable and delightful as the gold pomelo fruit. This unique blend of finance and personal touch defines who we are and what we strive to achieve at Gold Pomelo.

Where the seeds were planted

The story of Gold Pomelo started with a simple meeting between two professionals from different fields. Allen, who had a background in traditional finance, saw firsthand the challenges of payment collection while working with an e-commerce company. Zack, on the other hand, was deep into decentralized finance while exploring new financial solutions. When they crossed paths in 2021, they realized they could make something truly impactful by combining their expertise.

Their collaboration was like planting a seed in rich soil. With their shared vision and dedication, they nurtured their idea into what Gold Pomelo is today. From that initial spark, they've grown into a dynamic fintech company, committed to transforming financial transactions and helping your finances thrive.
