Built in Miami. Made for Haiti.
Touswit started with a simple question: why does it cost so much to help your family?

Our story starts with a wire transfer
In 2023, our founder sent $1,000 home to help pay his nephew's school fees. The transfer cost $89, took three days, and required his aunt to travel two hours to a MoneyGram location to pick up cash.
He's an engineer who's built payments systems for tech companies. He knew this didn't have to be so expensive, slow, or complicated. But every remittance app he tried had the same problems: high fees, hidden markups, or limited options for how people in Haiti could actually receive money.
So he built Touswit. A product designed for the people sending money home — and the people waiting to receive it. Low fees, instant delivery, and built on real partnerships with institutions in Haiti.
Our mission
Drive fees as low as possible for the people who feel every lost dollar. We're building financial infrastructure that respects the value of the money families send home — with rates as low as 1.2% for larger transfers.
Our vision
Economic sovereignty for Haiti through modern financial tools. Remittances are just the start — we're building toward a future where families have full control over their money.
What we believe
The values that guide how we build Touswit.
Transparency
Show the fee, the exchange rate, the total. No fine print.
Reliability
When you send money, it has to arrive. Every time.
Community
We build for the diaspora, not for investors.
Simplicity
Three steps. No jargon. It should just work.
