Money should feel local. WanderWallet is built for travelers and expats who are physically in Latin America and need to spend on real life: food, transport, hotels, pharmacies, coworking, and everyday purchases. WanderWallet connects to whichever local rail is dominant in each country. QR codes, transfers, or both: - Pix in Brazil - Mercado Pago, MODO, and Transferencias 3.0 QR codes plus Alias, CVU, and CBU transfers in Argentina - Bre-B transfers in Colombia - QR Simple in Bolivia Why this matters: In many LATAM markets, tourists lose money to foreign-card FX rates or waste time managing cash. WanderWallet gives you one transparent local-spending experience across multiple countries, and your balance stays in USD or EUR until you actually spend. Brazil: - Pay with Pix QR codes or send Pix transfers to any Pix key (phone, email, CPF, or random key) - Skip CPF and local-bank bureaucracy for day-to-day spending Argentina: - Pay by QR with Mercado Pago, MODO, or Transferencias 3.0 - Or send local transfers using Alias, CVU, or CBU, the routing IDs every Argentine bank and wallet supports - In practice, this is often about 2 to 3 percent better than major foreign card networks Colombia: - Send Bre-B transfers using a Colombian phone number - If someone gives you a number for Nequi, Daviplata, or Bancolombia, it usually works as a Bre-B key too - Spend in COP from your USD or EUR balance without per-transaction card FX margins Bolivia: - Official rate is 6.96 BOB/USD - WanderWallet uses the parallel exchange rate, around 8.50 to 9.00 BOB/USD - That is roughly 25 percent better than official-rate ATM and card flows - You scan QR Simple and pay from your phone What you get in-app: - Exact local-currency amount before you confirm - Clear conversion preview - Instant payment confirmation - One wallet across multiple countries - Send USD instantly between WanderWallet users with no fees How it works: 1) Sign up and verify 2) Add funds via bank transfer (USD/EUR), Revolut, or USDC on Polygon 3) Pay by QR or send a local transfer, depending on the country WanderWallet is not a remittance app. It is for in-country spending. If you are there and need to pay, this is built for you. Money should feel local.
