Why We Created Fidumado

The Information Gap

Thousands of Paraguayans regularly send money to family members abroad or receive remittances from relatives working in other countries. This represents a substantial flow of funds that impacts household budgets and financial planning.

However, when choosing how to send or receive money, many people rely on habit rather than comparison. They use the same service their family has always used, or the one recommended by a neighbor, without understanding what alternatives exist or how costs compare.

The fee structures of remittance services can be complex. Some charge flat fees, others take percentages. Exchange rate margins vary. Processing times differ. Service availability depends on location. All of this information exists publicly, but it's scattered across different sources and not presented in ways that make comparison straightforward.

What We Are Not

Fidumado does not send money. We are not a remittance service provider. We don't process transactions, hold funds, or facilitate transfers in any way.

We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or compensated by any bank, postal service, digital wallet, cooperative, or remittance agency. We don't earn commissions when people choose particular services after reading our information.

We don't provide financial advice or recommend specific services for individual situations. We provide factual information about options and let each person make their own choice based on their specific needs and circumstances.

Our role is purely educational. We believe that when people understand their options and can compare costs transparently, they can make decisions that work for their situations. That's why we created this platform.
