About Tride

Built by people who understand the church.

We're building a better way for churches and ministries to manage their finances, from opening their first bank account to managing funds across projects, departments, and branches.

Born from our own experience serving in churches, Tride combines an understanding of ministry operations with technology designed to make financial management simpler, more organized, and more accessible.

Isaiah & Jeremiah · Co-founders

Tride began with two friends, Isaiah and Jeremiah, who met while serving in a university fellowship.

As computer engineers with experience in software design and engineering, they shared two things: a passion for technology and a commitment to serving the church.

Through years of involvement in church activities and administration, they experienced firsthand how challenging managing ministry finances could be.

Churches often received contributions for different purposes into a single account, making it difficult to distinguish tithes, offerings, building projects, and other designated funds.

They also noticed another challenge. Many emerging churches and ministries struggled to open dedicated bank accounts, sometimes having to rely on personal accounts to receive contributions.

They believed technology could offer a better way.

So they built Tride.

What started as a way to help churches manage multiple bank accounts has grown into a financial management platform helping ministries open accounts, organize funds, make payments, and manage their finances from one place.

And we're just getting started.

Helping churches focus more on their mission.

We believe churches should spend less time dealing with banking processes and financial administration, and more time serving people and fulfilling their mission.

Our mission is to make reliable, accessible, and organized financial management available to churches and ministries, regardless of their size or stage of growth.
