What our users think of us on Trustpilot
Ivan NavarroVery useful for Argentina trips
CacaoCash was really useful during my trip to Argentina. I was able to pay locally without relying on my foreign card all the time, and the exchange rate was noticeably better. In some places I saved around 10% compared to paying directly with my card. I'd love to see support for more Latin American countries.
Anyelen RojasBetter than paying with card
I used CacaoCash in Argentina and it helped me avoid the extra costs that sometimes come with foreign cards. Some merchants charge extra when you pay by card, so being able to pay through local methods was very helpful. The cashback program is also a nice bonus.
Agus ChiuchiCashback makes it better
CacaoCash is already useful for paying in Argentina, but the cashback program makes it even better. The rewards feel well balanced, and the points system is clear without feeling impossible to progress.
Flor TobaresThe app works súper smooth!
Omar PeiranoGreat for QR payments
Before using CacaoCash, I didn't realize how common QR payments are in Latin America. In Argentina, a lot of places prefer local QR payments instead of cards. The app made that much easier for me as a traveler.
Mati GiradoGood exchange rate and simple experience
The app made payments in Argentina much easier. I got a better exchange rate than I usually get with my card, and the overall process was simple. The only thing missing for me is support for more countries in Latam.
