Why Amparo

Everything a cross-border life needs, in one app.

We licensed the hard parts so you don't have to think about them. You just send, hold, and spend.

Instant remittances

Send to El Salvador and watch it land in under a minute — not in three business days. Money between Amparo users is always instant and free.

Honest, tiny fees

Around 0.5% all-in, with the real FX rate shown up front. No "zero fee" headlines hiding a 4% spread. What you see is what they get.

A Spanish account, from anywhere

Salvadorians can open a Spanish vIBAN and hold euros in their own name — no flight to Madrid, no local bank branch required.

Debit card included

Every account comes with a Mastercard® debit card. Spend your balance online and in stores on both sides of the Atlantic.

Frictionless onboarding

Sign up with your DUI or passport in about two minutes. Verification is instant for most users — no paperwork, no waiting room.

Licensed & protected

Amparo operates on fully licensed and regulated rails. Your money is always safeguarded by a regulated institution — that's what our name means: shelter.

For the first time, a Salvadorian can hold euros in a European account opened entirely from their phone. No branch visit. No residency hoops. Just your ID and two minutes.

  • A real Spanish vIBAN in your name to receive euros, salaries and SEPA payments.

Send, hold, spend

Top up, send a remittance home in one tap, or tap to pay anywhere Mastercard is accepted. That's it.

Honest pricing

The cheapest way to move money home.

The remittance industry quietly takes 6%+ of everything sent to Latin America. We think that's wrong.
