# International Professional Neobanks 'Zolve' Offers Financial Solutions for High-Skilled People By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2025-03-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zolve References: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/11/zolve-a-neobank-for-global-citizens-moving-to-the-us-raises-51m-and-secures-200m-debt/) & [zolve](https://zolve.com)  'Zolve' is a [neobank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finin) solution created with a focus on helping global citizens to access financial products when settling down in a new location where they don't have access to their previous credit or account history. The [online-only bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mahalo-banking) provides skilled workers who move to new locations like the United States with access to financial products like [credit cards and loans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credit-scoring-solution) that traditional banks would likely deny them for. This responds to the needs of newcomers who are low-risk yet can't leverage their credit history from a different country or bank. The startup thus accesses their credit history from their home country and assumes the underwriting risk. Founder and CEO Raghunandan G spoke on 'Zolve' saying, "Financial institutions in one country don’t talk to financial institutions in another country because sufficiently low-risk individuals end up being treated as high-risk. That’s the problem we are trying to solve."
