Technology Driven Human Focused

Tua seamlessly weaves technology with humanity to make affordable loans accessible to everyone.

Our Story

Life happens, but it shouldn’t stop you from living. It’s a mantra that Bob Christianson, Tua’s Founder, couldn’t get out of his head. Bob was—and still is—living the challenging balancing act of a busy family and entrepreneurship.
As someone who championed the underserved, Bob couldn’t help but wonder: Is there a better way to pay? Is there a better way for businesses, humans, and financial institutions to interact? Is there a better way for businesses to invest in their growth with commercial lending?
These questions are the foundation of Tua—where pinching pennies and high-interest charges are replaced by a flexible and responsible alternative, helping all parties involved, businesses, individuals, and financial institutions alike.
