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. His vendors? 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.
The Challenge: Hard to Manage Payments Alone
Traditional providers weren’t built for the way Matteo works. He didn’t want to travel just to open an account, didn’t want to be locked into one currency, and didn’t want to deal with robotic support if something went wrong.
As the only person managing client strategy, post-production vendors, 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. That’s when Matteo found Statrys.
Outcome: Global Payments Sorted In Just A Few Days
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.
Everything is managed from a single dashboard, giving Matteo full visibility into his income and spending, without switching tools or relying on spreadsheets.
Impact: Efficient Payments and Real Human Support
As Matteo’s 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.
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.
