When Associates move for opportunities, Puentes plays a significant role in helping smooth the transition to a new locale and in improving the “home” communities of the Associates.

Leveraging Remittances

• As part of our financial literacy initiatives, we help our Associates reduce the cost of sending money back home by working with leading money transfer companies and helping our Associates set up bank accounts that facilitate low-cost international transfers. We also advise our Associates and their families on how to best invest their remittances.

Ensuring Safety

• Our flexible—and legal—process facilitates the move of Associates across borders, and prevents them from having to stay for longer than they intend.

Accessing Education & Services

• We encourage our Associates to successfully complete technical training, language proficiency, and personal development programs.

• Puentes also makes access to important services more easily available to its Associates by collaborating with banks, insurance firms, and utility companies. We will negotiate special service packages for our Associates to cater to their particular cultural and financial needs as workers and entrepreneurs.
