Live in Guatemala

A trusted financial bridge between the U.S. and Latin America

UffPay is live and in use in Guatemala. Families already send remittances, move money person to person and exchange dollars for quetzales in the app, on iOS and Android. What follows is the public case for the corridor we serve, what is already built, and how we intend to earn the right to scale.

The opportunity

A large corridor with a widening access gap

The money already moves. What is missing is a modern, low-cost way to receive it, hold it and spend it. Every figure below carries the year it covers and the official source it came from.

Our mission

Technology and financial inclusion for the whole region

UffPay exists to bring technology and financial inclusion to the region: a better service, accessible to every community and every person in an easy way, lowering the barriers that exist today with solutions that exist today.

  1. Access for every community

    Financial services within reach of all communities and people, simple to use and open to everyone.

  2. A better service

    Technology that removes the existing barriers: easy onboarding, clear pricing and money that moves in a click.

  3. Lower transaction costs

    Reduce the processing cost of transactions, locally and internationally, in every country we enter.

Market map

The corridor is growing fast

Guatemala is the second-largest remittance recipient in the region after Mexico, and 2025 was a record year. The access gap on the receiving end is what UffPay exists to close.

Only 38.3% of Guatemalan adults hold an account at a financial institution or with a mobile money provider, down from 44.1% in 2017. The majority who do not are exactly who UffPay is built to serve.

Why now

The infrastructure is in place, the product is live, and the corridor just posted a record year.

Live in Guatemala

UffPay is available and in use in Guatemala today. Remittances, person-to-person transfers and USD to GTQ exchange all run in the app, on iOS and Android.

A seven-year Visa growth agreement

A seven-year growth agreement with Visa covers ten approved markets, subject to launch conditions, and puts Visa launch and volume support behind the Guatemala rollout.

Dual-rail processing

Processing stacks in the United States (Fiserv and Clover) and in Guatemala (NeoNet), both integrated and tested, give the platform redundancy and real reach.

AI-powered compliance, built in-house

BlackEagle, our own compliance and risk engine, runs RENAP identity checks, continuous sanctions and PEP screening, and real-time transaction scoring. Building it in-house means we own the rules and the cost.

Visa prepaid card, ready to issue

The UffPay Visa prepaid card program is in final certification with our issuing partners. One thousand cards are produced and ready to go out the moment certification completes.

Priced in the open

The fee is a published 3.5% plus $0.50 per eligible transaction, stated plainly on the consumer site rather than buried in a rate table. What a customer sees is what an investor can verify.

The Visa agreement

What the Visa agreement is, and what it lets us do

This is a seven-year growth agreement, not a marketing badge. It is the commercial backbone of the card program and of any market we go on to explore.

The agreement runs seven years and covers ten approved expansion markets, subject to launch conditions. It sets the perimeter for where UffPay can take the card program over that period.

The agreement and the card program remain subject to contract confirmation, partner readiness, integration, launch conditions and applicable approvals.

Built on trusted infrastructure

How a market gets earned

  1. Current

    Prove Guatemala

    Activate, transact, retain and validate unit economics in one market before anything else is considered.

  2. Conditional

    Repeat the corridor

    Demonstrate that the customer and funds-flow model reproduces across a U.S. to Latin America corridor.

  3. Exploration only

    Evaluate new markets

    Assess licensing, partners, economics and risk before any local entry. Every market decision is gated and approved at the parent.

No market beyond Guatemala is represented as launched, licensed, revenue-generating or operating. Any entry remains subject to licensing, local partners and market conditions.
