Hello everyone,

Once you聮re settled in Argentina, you will need to make some basic purchases, like groceries or pay bills. Hence, it is essential to know the payment methods available in your host country.

Which are the most common payment methods in Argentina? Why would you prefer some forms over others?

Does the amount of money or the type of paid services (groceries, bills, rent, etc.) determine the choice of payment methods?

Are there any apps at your disposal which make the payment process easier in Argentina?

Can certain foreign currencies be used to make payments?

Have your habits in terms of payment methods changed since moving to Argentina?

Thanks for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

If you live in the city you can use your bank card... Out of the city you'll need to use cash most of the time... mercadopago is an online form of payment very common in Argentina you can download the app.. Can also be used to make payments at stores that accommodate it.... You can also use it to pay all your bills online... Its very difficult to open a bank account in Argentina if you do not have the Argentinian residence I.D.

The question is completely off-topic, but still...
Guys, Is it worth taking microcredit for an investment that I am sure of? offers almost zero loans, so I'm thinking of taking an adventure like that.

What do you think? Maybe you know more similar organizations?
