What Mercado Pago is
Mercado Pago is the financial app of e-commerce group Mercado Libre, and almost everyone in Argentina has an account. Each account has a CVU number and an alias, with instant transfers to and from bank accounts.
When you pay with Mercado Pago, the confirmation screen shows the recipient's name and CUIT/CUIL. Check them against the advertiser before confirming.
How Mercado Pago works in Argentine P2P trading
Mercado Pago is among the most common methods in Argentine peso ads, with Ualá, Brubank, Lemon and bank transfers. Almost every Argentine has an account, and CVU transfers arrive instantly.
Argentine P2P prices often show a high premium, partly because several dollar rates coexist in Argentina while Offpar uses a single reference rate. Comparing gaps between methods and ads is more meaningful.
Mercado Pago transfers show the recipient's name and CUIT/CUIL, which makes checking the real name easy and is part of why it is popular on P2P.
How to pay for USDT with Mercado Pago, step by step
- Open Mercado Pago, choose Transferir and enter the CVU or alias from the order page.
- The confirmation shows the recipient's name and CUIT/CUIL; check they match the advertiser.
- Enter the order amount and confirm.
- Save the receipt and mark the order paid.
Selling works in reverse: once the buyer pays, confirm the money in your own Mercado Pago account first, then release. For common scams and how to avoid them, see six common P2P USDT scams.
