Bringing Together FinTech and Banking: The Evolution of Triumph Business Capital
Triumph Business Capital, a bank that started in distressed real estate, recognized the benefits of being a bank and sought a bank charter. With the acquisition of a factoring company, Triumph found its niche in transportation finance. The company offers transportation factoring, where trucking invoices are bought at a discounted rate, providing truckers with working capital. Triumph's unique advantage as a bank allows it to use its low-cost funds to finance these transactions at a higher yield. The factoring business took off, and through reinvesting in technology, Triumph built an enterprise system that can handle billions of dollars in transactions per month. Triumph also created Try and Pay, an integration with freight brokers that simplifies and streamlines trucking payments. With its innovative approach and focus on the transportation industry, Triumph Business Capital continues to thrive and provide value in the financial technology space.
