AUSTIN, Texas -

After being named a finalist in three categories, Tresl claimed a pair of honors in the US FINTECH Awards program, presented by FinTech Intel.

During the pre-recorded US Fintech Awards ceremony held last week, the web-based platform for buying and selling vehicles was named the recipient as the Employer of the Year, while marketing manager Mitchel Janssen was named Rising Star of the Year.

FinTech Intel divided awards into 25 categories to cover a full spectrum of products, services and solutions and also recognize the achievements and successes of the firms and the commitment of leading individuals of the industry.

“We were truly honored to be a finalist in the three categories in which we applied, and we are incredibly excited to bring home two of those as wins,” Tresl president and chief executive officer Christine Pierson, herself one of last year’s Women in Auto Finance honorees.

“These are wins for our entire organization and having our team recognized for their resilience and dedication to our mission throughout the difficulties of COVID-19 and its impact on so many, means the world,” Pierson continued in a news release.

“We believe that when you put your people first, they’ll do the same for your customers, and that philosophy has continued to prove itself true every single day. Tresl is beyond grateful to be recognized alongside so many other esteemed and notable organizations,” she added.

“Congratulations to all of our team Tresl associates for their dedication, hard work, and continued commitment to delivering a value driven, customer-centric experience,” she went on to say.
