DALLAS, Dec. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tricolor Holdings today announced that it has been named to the highly competitive Inc. 2022 Best in Business list, which honors companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society. Tricolor Holdings was recognized for its groundbreaking success in expanding physical and financial mobility for underserved Hispanics.
Over the last 15 years, Tricolor has disbursed more than $2 billion in affordable auto loans and helped hundreds of thousands of customers – many of whom lack access to affordable credit – purchase a high-quality used vehicle. As a result of its focus on expanding financial inclusion to the underserved, Tricolor became the first ever lender in the United States to issue a social bond collateralized by consumer auto asset backed securities (ABS). This designation furthers the company’s mission to empower underserved, low-income communities and provide them with improved access to mainstream financing that ultimately helps them to build a better future.
“We are honored to be included among this distinguished group of purpose-driven companies and grateful to Inc. for this tremendous recognition of our strategy,” said Daniel Chu, founder and CEO of Tricolor Holdings. “We have a strong conviction that success derives from empowering our customers and helping them to achieve a higher quality of life. Our mission to create that path has been inextricably embedded in both our culture and strategy.”
Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, “Inc. magazine is dedicated to showcasing America’s most dynamic businesses and the great things they do. The Best in Business awards shine a light on those that have gone above and beyond their original mission to make a social, environmental or economic impact, benefiting those around them.”
Rather than relying solely on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed the companies’ achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world.
