In the 13th century, the Emperor Kublai Khan awarded
Marco Polo a gold tablet in the form of a long piece of
currency named « GEREGE » along with a password,
which ensured numerous privileges to the beholder.
With this golden passport, Marco Polo obtained all
necessary protections, supplies and assistance which
included horses, food and equipment for his safe return to
Venice accompanied by his immense fortune.
The GEREJE, first diplomatic passport,
ensuring safe and secure cross border
transactions, is a powerful symbol
matching perfectly our mission and goals
GEREJE team members share a common
passion in dealing with cross border
transactions and are united around the
GEREJE symbol reflecting our mind set as
well as our working philosophy.
