## What is Peanut?

Get paid from abroad. Use your balance every day.

Peanut is a money app for freelancers and remote workers. Get paid from the United States and Europe, keep your money in digital dollars and pay with QR or withdraw it. You don't need to travel to get paid from abroad.

GET PAID

If your verified account is eligible, you can open USD, EUR, GBP, MXN or COP account details. Share them only with the people who pay you and check the instructions for each transfer. GBP details are in our banking partner's name and held on your behalf.

Who can pay you depends on the currency and your verified residence. Businesses can pay eligible accounts. USD also accepts payments from another person under USD 4,000 per payment; that limit does not apply to family members who share your surname. MXN accepts payments from another person up to MXN 15,000 in total. EUR, GBP and COP do not accept payments from another person. If you live in Texas, your USD details accept payments only from your own account. Availability depends on where you live.

Timing depends on the type of transfer: some usually arrive within minutes and others take a few business days. Money you receive goes to your digital dollar balance. Payments in other currencies are converted to digital dollars, with the conversion cost included in the exchange rate.

Peanut is for personal use. It does not offer business accounts or invoicing.

USE YOUR BALANCE

Pay with Mercado Pago QR at supported merchants in Argentina, or supported QR codes and Pix keys in Brazil. Passport verification can enable these payments without a local bank account. Local bank deposits and withdrawals in ARS and BRL have separate requirements: local residence, a tax ID and an eligible account.

You can also withdraw through the bank routes available for your account. Check the amount, the exchange rate and any withdrawal costs before you confirm.

GET STARTED

Create your account in the Peanut app. Verify your identity for the method you want to use, check who can pay you and share your account details.

Peanut is an app for using your money, not a bank or a savings account.
