The Argentine Peso Card is a prepaid virtual card for online payments to merchants in Argentina that bill in pesos. You buy it with crypto, receive the card details after activation, and spend the loaded balance where prepaid cards are accepted.
It is useful for visitors, people who have moved to Argentina and businesses paying Argentine suppliers. Our guide to ARS virtual cards covers the local payment landscape in more detail.

Where the merchant accepts prepaid cards, typical uses are:
Many Argentine merchants ask for a national ID (DNI) or tax number at checkout. Argentina also has frequent changes to taxes and rules on foreign-currency payments, which can affect what you are charged.
Global services sometimes price plans for Argentine residents. Use those prices only if you live in Argentina and meet the service's terms; a peso card is not a way to qualify.
If a merchant supports Maestro rather than Visa or Mastercard, see the Argentine Peso Maestro Debit. Paying merchants in Brazil as well? The Brazilian Reloadable Visa covers reais.
Please note: Gpayvcc sells and supports prepaid virtual cards issued by partner institutions; we are not a bank and do not offer credit. Some merchants refuse prepaid cards, and acceptance can change without notice. We may ask for verification or refuse service where the law or our partners require it.
All card values and one-time issue fees are listed under card prices and fees. If a payment fails, start with our answers to common card questions.
If a merchant charges in pesos, paying from a peso balance can avoid an extra conversion at checkout. Exchange-rate movements still affect what the balance is worth in dollars.
You can use it for genuine purchases from Argentine merchants that accept it. You should not use it to claim prices or services reserved for Argentine residents.
Some Argentine merchants require a local ID for invoicing. If you do not have one, that merchant may not be able to complete your order.
