Paying Rent and Expensas in Argentina from Spain (2026)

To pay rent or expensas in Argentina from Spain, ask the landlord or the building administration for their alias or CBU and send the pesos with CacaoCash: the app shows how many pesos arrive before you confirm, displays the account holder's name so you can check it, and the money lands in seconds, any day. Keep the receipt and forward it by WhatsApp.

This guide covers two cases: you rent or own a place in Argentina and live in Spain, or you pay the rent of a relative who lives there. It also says clearly what the app does not do, so you know when this route works and when it does not.

How to pay rent or expensas in Argentina from Spain, step by step

1. Ask the landlord, the real estate agency or the building administration for a transfer account: an alias, a CBU or a CVU. It is the same data they use for local transfers. If you are not sure what each one is, read alias, CVU and CBU explained.
2. Load euros into CacaoCash by bank transfer (SEPA) from an account in your name. The app verifies you with an Argentine DNI or a Spanish passport (foreigners use their passport).
3. Choose the send-to-alias option, paste the alias or CBU and type the amount in pesos. The app shows the name of the account holder: check that it matches the landlord or the administration before you confirm.
4. Check the quote. The 2.5% fee and the euros it costs you are visible before you confirm. The person receiving pays nothing.
5. Confirm, save the receipt (comprobante) and send it by WhatsApp to the landlord or administrator. Pesos arrive in seconds, 24/7, so the payment does not depend on bank hours in Argentina.

Case 1: you rent or own a place in Argentina

If you are the tenant and live in Spain, you send the monthly rent to the account the landlord gives you. If you own the place and pay the expensas, you send them to the account of the administration. In both cases the amount is in pesos and it arrives at the dollar rate the app shows, which on 7 November 2026 was about 1,762 pesos per euro net of fees (crypto dollar rate; the app shows the exact figure before you confirm). For reference, a Spanish card paying in pesos converted at 1,648.5 pesos per euro with a 0% bank fee on 6 November 2026 (Mastercard converter), so CacaoCash delivered ≈ 6.9% more pesos than that card.

Rent in dollars or in pesos?

Many contracts are in pesos with periodic adjustments, others mention dollars. CacaoCash sends pesos. If your contract is in dollars, agree with the landlord in writing which rate is used to convert each month and how the transfer is accepted. Check the amount in pesos with the landlord before sending. This guide is not legal advice.

Case 2: you pay a relative's rent

It works the same way: you send the pesos from Spain to the alias that the landlord gave your relative, so they do not have to move any money. Your relative can send you the receipt photo or you can forward it yourself. If you also help your family with other expenses, you can use the same flow to send pesos to their own alias or Mercado Pago account.

How many euros you need for common amounts

Assumptions: 1 EUR ≈ 1,762 pesos that arrive, with the 2.5% fee included (EUR/USD 1.1165 from the ECB on 6 November, SEPA load about 0.5% below market, app rate 1,626.95 on 7 November 2026). The rate moves every day: the app shows the exact figure before you confirm.

Limits for large amounts

CacaoCash has a limit of 3,000,000 pesos per transfer and 6,000,000 per month. If rent plus expensas or a year paid in advance goes beyond that, split the payment and plan ahead. Details and options in large peso payments in Argentina as a foreigner.

What CacaoCash does not do

• It does not pay bills, utilities, VEP or taxes directly. If an expensas or utility bill offers a payment by CBU or alias, you can send the amount to that account. If it only accepts a payment slip, a card or an online portal, this route does not work.
• For taxes on rental income in Argentina or Spain, talk to an accountant (consultá con un contador).
• Collecting rent in Spain: for foreigners, the app does not give an Argentine account to receive pesos. If you are Argentine and verify with your DNI, the app opens your own CVU, so a tenant can transfer pesos to you. They become dollars and you can withdraw them as euros to a Spanish IBAN in your name: see sending money from Argentina to Spain.
