Sending money to Argentina with Rapipago
If the recipient doesn't have a bank account, they can still receive the money in cash through Rapipago. This guide walks through the process step by step, what the recipient needs, and what to expect at the branch.
How cash pickup at Rapipago works
The process has three steps:
- You send the money with Fonmoney and choose cash via Rapipago as the delivery method.
- The recipient gets a withdrawal code, usually by text message.
- With that code and their ID, they collect the money at any Rapipago branch in the country.
What the recipient needs to collect the money
Before heading to the branch, the recipient needs the withdrawal code and a valid ID.
- A valid national ID document.
- The withdrawal code received once the transfer is confirmed.
- The exact name the transfer was registered under.
Rapipago coverage across Argentina
Rapipago has branches across the country, in major cities and smaller towns alike. This coverage makes cash a practical option when the recipient lives far from a bank branch or would rather not rely on an account.
Cash, bank account or wallet: what to choose
Cash via Rapipago works well when the recipient doesn't have a bank account or needs the money right away without extra steps. If they do have a bank account or online wallet, they can receive the money directly there instead.
