As Marcos Galperín anticipated, the MEP dollar arrived in the Mercado Pago app.
As confirmed by company sources this Wednesday,
the operation of buying and selling dollars through the stock market is now available for a group of users of the app
and will progressively be enabled for the 12 million who pay daily with this wallet.
"According to a recent study carried out by Isonomía,
the vast majority of Argentines consider that buying dollars is their favorite way to save.
With the aim of simplifying the administration of their finances and bringing new ways of saving, they will now be able to buy, sell and transfer dollars, easily and safely, through Mercado Pago," the company explained.
As expected,
the operation will be carried out through BIND Inversiones.
"To begin operating with the MEP Dollar, users must accept, one time only, the corresponding Terms and Conditions within the Mercado Pago application," they detailed.
The tool is in its initial stage and
will progressively be available to all individuals, over 18 years of age
, who meet the requirements established by the Central Bank (BCRA) and the National Securities Commission (CNV).
