About Us
biragos is an independent website that publishes plain-language, informational content about online payments. We are based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Our story
biragos began as an internal reading list, shared between a handful of people who kept sending each other explainers on digital wallets, contactless payments and checkout security. We noticed how much of that material was either overly technical or written to promote a specific wallet app or provider.
We built biragos to sit in between: written for a general reader, factually careful, and free of any commercial agenda. The website has been maintained and expanded since 2022, one article at a time.
What guides us
biragos does not process payments, sell payment products, or hold any affiliate arrangement with a wallet, processor or gateway.
If a concept can't be explained without jargon, we haven't finished writing it. Technical terms are always defined in context.
Everything we publish is general information. We do not offer individual financial, security or legal advice, and we say so clearly.
Who we are
biragos is run by a small, independent editorial team with backgrounds in payments technology, consumer protection and financial journalism. Articles are reviewed before publication and updated when facts or figures change.
Every guide is checked for clarity and factual accuracy before it goes live, and reviewed periodically after publication.
Our team works from Lausanne, Switzerland, though the content we publish is written for a general, international audience.
The site is supported by minimal, non-intrusive advertising rather than product sales, so our incentives stay aligned with readers.
