Our Story:
Peter J. Ruiz, an economics graduate, executive board member of Atlas Financial Group, Corp., and Co-founder of BuyingCoverage.com, had a simple goal: organize a fishing trip with his friends. But what should have been an easy plan quickly turned into a logistical headache.
Collecting contributions, tracking payments, managing a shared budget, and keeping everyone on the same page became a never-ending cycle of group messages and reminders. Sound familiar? Having already built a web-based platform from the ground up, Peter knew there had to be a smarter way to bring people, money, and shared goals together. So, he built TriBucks.
What began as a simple solution to make that fishing trip happen quickly evolved into something much bigger. The platform could help groups organize contributions for vacations, sports team jerseys, band equipment, family celebrations, graduation gifts, and just about any goal worth pursuing together. That realization sparked a bigger vision: TriBucks wasn't just about planning trips. It was about making shared goals easier to achieve.
Whether you're a group of friends planning your next adventure, a sports team raising money for new gear, or coworkers organizing a special event, TriBucks brings everyone together in one convenient place. No more chasing payments. No more confusing spreadsheets. No more wondering who's contributed and who hasn't. Just one goal, and a smarter way to make it happen.

Our mission
We believe the best experiences in life are shared ones. Trips, games, milestones, celebrations — they're better when your whole group is in. Tribucks exists to remove every financial friction that stands between your group and the thing you're all working toward.
Transparent balances, instant deposits, admin controls, and a full activity feed — so your group can focus on the goal, not the spreadsheet.
Transparency first
Every deposit, every member, the progress is visible to the whole group. No surprises, no awkward conversations.
Speed matters
Stripe-powered deposits clear fast. No waiting, no chasing. Your group's momentum shouldn't stall over payment delays.
Goals over admin
We handle the bookkeeping so your group can stay focused on what actually matters — reaching the goal together.
Built-in accountability
Admin controls, role-based permissions, and a full activity feed mean everyone stays on the same page.
Real groups. Real goals.
Don't take our word for it
"We used Tribucks for our annual fishing trip to the Keys. No more chasing people for money — everyone deposited upfront and we could see the balance in real time. Best trip we've ever had."

"Our rec basketball league needed new jerseys and court time. I set up a Tribucks goal, sent the invite code to the team, and we hit our target in four days. The activity feed kept everyone honest."

"We planned a surprise 40th birthday trip for our friend. Tribucks made it so easy — everyone could deposit quietly, the admin tracked spending, and the birthday guy had no idea until we were at the airport."

"Our office uses Tribucks for team lunches, holiday parties, and gift pools. It replaced the awkward envelope-passing and the person who always 'forgets' to pay. Game changer for workplace groups."

"I was skeptical at first — another app to manage? But the setup took two minutes and my whole travel group was in within the hour. We funded our Cancun trip in a week. Highly recommend."

"The transparency is what sold me. Everyone can see who's contributed, what's been spent, and how close we are to the goal. No drama, no confusion. Just a group moving toward something together."
