Managing money alone meant working around the bank, not with it
- Opening an account meant travelling abroad, which didn't work running the business from Thailand
- Being locked into a single currency didn't match vendors paid in USD, EUR, and more
- No simple way to track expenses and payments without an assistant to help
- Support felt robotic exactly when something went wrong
A business account built to run alongside one person
- Signed up and was fully set up in just a few days, without stepping into a branch
- Multi-currency support for USD, EUR, and more, from one platform
- One dashboard with full visibility into income and spending
- Real, human support from a dedicated contact, not a chatbot queue
One Founder, Every Hat, Clients Across Three Continents
As a solo founder, Matteo Trovato wears every hat in his business. From content strategy and podcast planning to vendor coordination and client delivery, Matteo runs a lean but global operation. His clients are B2B founders and CMOs based in the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and his vendors are just as international.
The model gives him flexibility and reach, but handling payments across time zones, juggling multiple currencies, and tracking expenses without an assistant quickly became a challenge.
Why Traditional Banking Didn't Fit a Solo Global Operator
Traditional providers weren't built for the way Matteo works, and the experience fell short in three specific ways.
- First, opening an account meant travelling, which didn't suit a founder running his business remotely from Thailand.
- Second, being locked into one currency didn't match a business paying vendors across multiple currencies.
- Third, support felt robotic exactly when he needed it to be responsive.
"The traditional bank account solution for me was not feasible for a few reasons. One reason is that I was not planning to travel to Hong Kong at that time."
As the only person managing client strategy, vendor coordination, and admin, he needed:
- A remote-friendly way to open and manage his account
- Multi-currency support for USD, EUR, and more
- A simple overview of expenses and payments
- Real, human support when needed
Most providers fell short. And then Matteo found Statrys.
What Changed With Statrys
Matteo signed up for a Statrys Business Account after setting up his Hong Kong company, without stepping foot in a branch. From Thailand, he uploaded his documents, spoke to his account manager, and was fully set up in just a few days. Now, he handles payments to global vendors in multiple currencies, with no hidden fees and no delays.
"It was, in my opinion, just a very painless process, just following the instructions, uploading my documents, and everything was pretty much done, probably even in shorter than three days, if I remember correctly. I got an email right away from an account manager, so everything felt like I was never left in the dark."
Today, Matteo runs his global business with clarity and control. He uses Statrys to:
- Pay vendors in USD and EUR from one platform
- Track cross-border income and expenses without outsourcing admin
- Get support from a dedicated contact, not a chatbot queue
Running Global Payments With a Human Touch
Everything is managed from a single dashboard, giving Matteo full visibility into his income and spending, without switching tools or relying on spreadsheets. As his business expands into long-form content strategy, podcasts, and YouTube growth for B2B brands, his setup with Statrys is built to scale right alongside him.
Beyond the platform itself, it's the relationship with the team behind it that stands out for Matteo.
"I know the people who work at Statrys. And so for me, it's almost like I'm working with almost my friends in a way. So for me, that's a big plus."
That's the balance Matteo was looking for all along: not more complexity, just tools that work, giving his business the structure it needs without adding any extra overhead.
