Our Mission As entrepreneurs, we aimed to make mobile payments accessible, simple, and secure for everyone by providing merchants with a highly effective loyalty tool. Built on principles of kindness and sharing, Trendigo's mission is to create a win-win exchange between professionals and their clients. Our Journey As cash gradually disappears, everyone should be able to accept payments easily without high costs eroding value, and individuals should be able to pay without fear of their banking information being stolen. Trendigo's proprietary payment infrastructure is built on APIs and single-use tokens that ensure high transaction security, significantly reducing fraud risks. By simplifying the customer and merchant experience, we aim to create a win-win ecosystem. Processes are simple and immediate, and Trendigo’s merchant community rewards customers for their purchases. This cashback can be used for future purchases within the community, strengthening local ties and fostering better relationships within neighborhoods.
