Winter vacation: what an Argentine needs for their trip in 2024

With belo's virtual wallet, you can keep your dollars, pay cheaper and faster on a trip abroad. Below is the complete guide to make the most of your vacation.
We didn't think up the slogan “Your money without borders” for nothing At belo, we want each of our users to be able to use their funds with freedom and simplicity; this includes making payments abroad easier, which in Argentina usually means a major headache.
In fact, the app can become a perfect ally when planning a trip abroad That's why, with the arrival of winter vacation, we want to tell you everything you need to know about belo so you can make the most of your getaway
You don't need dollars or euros
Any Argentine user has access to the belo Mastercard, a prepaid card that lets you use your pesos or cryptocurrencies to pay at any physical or online business in the world
That said, there's no need to exchange pesos for dollars, euros, or any other currency. Nor do you need to notify anyone or request authorization to use the card outside Argentina.
It's worth noting that payment settlement is carried out in pesos, so the price at which they will be quoted will be tied to the official dollar rate and the taxes in effect at the time the transaction is made.
Tickets, hotels and eSIM cards: all cheaper
The belo app has a section called “Virtual Stores” that allows you to buy gift cards in different categories through the marketplace Bitrefill All you need is pesos or crypto in the virtual wallet to get these cards, which you can later redeem for international stays, plane tickets, or even an eSIM.
At the time of payment, belo automatically converts the balance used to bitcoin, which is the currency used to make purchases on Bitrefill. In this way, the payment is made directly with cryptocurrencies, regardless of whether the user chose to pay with Argentine pesos. In other words: you don't have to worry about exchanging any currency.
A major advantage is that these gift card payments are not subject to card taxes for purchases abroad This is a modern, secure, and economical solution for making online purchases.
Trip to Brazil: what's the best way to pay
We can't leave without first talking about Pix: the most popular payment system and the one chosen by Brazilians, which is now within reach of Argentines thanks to belo
Through belo's “Pay with Pix” feature, you can use the virtual wallet's peso or crypto balance to pay at any business in Brazil; even beach vendors Again, the advantages are:
There's no need to exchange dollars or pesos for reais. No credit card is used (the taxes on payments abroad do not apply).
You can pay with your phone, instantly and without fees. For these reasons and more, belo should be the first thing you think of when planning a trip abroad. We want to make your life simpler, so that you can use your money how and where you want
