How to exchange USDT to Argentine pesos and receive them in Mercado Pago by CVU or alias

If you hold USDT and need Argentine pesos in your Mercado Pago account, GetBit handles it with a single order: you pick the network, enter your CVU or alias and send the coins. This guide walks through the steps, what to check before sending and the mistakes that cause the most delays.

In short

To get paid in Mercado Pago you only need the CVU or alias of your own account and the account holder's full name.
The exchange rate is fixed when the order is created, and GetBit's fee is already included in it.
Send USDT only on the network of the chosen direction and for exactly the amount shown in the order.
An operator sends the pesos manually once the transaction has the required network confirmations.

What you need before you start

Have everything ready before you create the order. That way you won't be changing details halfway through, which is exactly when mistakes happen.

The minimum per order is 20 USDT or the equivalent in another cryptocurrency, and the maximum is about 5,000 USDT equivalent. The current limits are shown under the amount field.

USDT in your wallet on the network you plan to use (TRC-20 or BEP-20), or Bitcoin if you'd rather sell BTC.
A Mercado Pago account in your own name that you personally have access to.
The CVU or alias of that account, copied straight from the account itself.
Your full name exactly as it appears for the account holder.
A working e-mail address and Telegram username so the operator can reach you.

CVU or alias: which one to use and what to check

For Mercado Pago payouts, GetBit accepts either the CVU or the alias. Use whichever is easier for you; what matters is that the account is yours. CUIT, CUIL or DNI is optional in the order.

The key rule is that the payout account must belong to the person making the exchange. GetBit does not pay third parties, which is why the order asks for the account holder's full name.

Copy the CVU or alias instead of typing it from memory.
Make sure no extra spaces or characters slipped in when you pasted it.
Check that the holder's name matches your Mercado Pago account.
A mistake in the payment details is the responsibility of whoever enters them, so it's worth checking twice.

Step by step: exchanging USDT to pesos in Mercado Pago

The process is the same for USDT TRC-20, USDT BEP-20 and Bitcoin; only the network you send the coins on changes.

Choose the exchange direction, for example USDT TRC-20 → Mercado Pago.
Enter the amount. Before you create the order you'll see the rate, the limits and the final amount in pesos.
Fill in your Mercado Pago CVU or alias and your full name. You can add CUIT, CUIL or DNI if you wish.
Enter your e-mail and Telegram username.
Create the order. At this point the rate is fixed.
Send exactly the amount shown to the order address, on the network of the chosen direction. If the funds don't arrive within 60 minutes of the request being accepted, the order is cancelled automatically.
Follow the status on the order page. Once the transaction has the required confirmations, the operator contacts you on Telegram in queue order and sends the pesos.
Check your Mercado Pago account and confirm each transfer you receive.

Picking the right network: TRC-20, BEP-20 or Bitcoin

Each exchange direction has its own network. USDT TRC-20 is sent only on Tron, and USDT BEP-20 only on BEP-20. Tokens sent on another network are not credited to the order address, even if the amount is right.

Before you confirm the withdrawal in your wallet, compare the selected network with the one in the order. It's the most expensive mistake and also the easiest one to avoid.

If you'd rather be paid to a bank account than to Mercado Pago, there is also the USDT TRC-20 → CBU / CVU direction, which works with any bank or wallet that has a CVU. And if you're in Brazil and want reais, we have a separate guide on selling USDT for PIX.

Confirmations, timing and split payouts

Pesos are not sent automatically: an operator sends them after the transaction receives the required network confirmations. USDT TRC-20 needs 20 confirmations and Bitcoin needs 2. On average a transaction is confirmed within 1 minute to several hours, depending on network load and the fee set for the transfer; in rare cases of heavy congestion it can take up to 24 hours.

The standard order processing time is 360 minutes, and during periods of high load it can take up to 48 hours. The payout may arrive in several transfers, with the total unchanged. Confirm each one only after you see it in your account: by confirming, you take responsibility for that confirmation being accurate.

If you need receipts, tell the operator before the exchange begins. Every incoming transaction is checked under GetBit's AML/KYC policy; if you have questions about your wallet, ask support before sending.

Typical mistakes and how to avoid them

Most delays come from the same handful of slips. Run through this list before you send your USDT.

If something doesn't add up, contact GetBit support, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on Telegram (@getbithelp) and by e-mail (support@getbit.exchange). Keep your order details at hand.

Sending USDT on a different network from the order: the tokens are not credited.
Sending a different amount from the one shown: the funds may be lost on the payment operator's side. Send the exact figure.
Using a relative's or friend's CVU or alias: GetBit does not pay third parties.
Sending the coins long after creating the order: after 60 minutes without funds, the order is cancelled.
Confirming a transfer you haven't actually seen in Mercado Pago.
Leaving an outdated Telegram username or e-mail: the operator won't be able to reach you in time.

No. Payouts are made only to the client's own account; transfers to third parties are not allowed.

Do I have to provide DNI, CUIT or CUIL?

No, that field is optional in the order. The CVU or alias and the account holder's full name are required.
