Rent in Buenos Aires
Pay your rent in Buenos Aires without a DNI or an Argentine bank account
Landlords in Buenos Aires expect a peso transfer to their alias, CBU or CVU, which foreigners without a local account cannot make. CacaoCash solves it: you load dollars, enter the landlord's alias, and the rent arrives in pesos in seconds at the crypto dollar rate, about 10% more pesos than a foreign card or a wire.

Type or paste the alias, CBU or CVU. The app shows the account holder name so you can confirm it is your landlord.
