USDC to Brubank: cash out to Argentine pesos
How to send USDC from your wallet to your Brubank account in Argentine pesos via Transferencias 3.0: where to find your CBU/CVU or alias, steps, limits and FAQs.
In Argentina, peso transfers between bank accounts (CBU) and virtual wallets (CVU) are immediate and interoperable under the Central Bank's Transferencias 3.0 framework. Banks issue a 22-digit CBU, wallets like Mercado Pago, Ualá or Naranja X issue a 22-digit CVU, and both can be reached with an easy-to-remember alias. Because several dollar quotes coexist in Argentina, the number that matters is the final amount of pesos you receive.

Where to find your CBU/CVU or alias — Brubank
Brubank is a licensed digital bank, so your peso account has a CBU. It and your alias are usually shown in the app's account details or share option.
What to know about Brubank
- Unlike wallets that issue a CVU, Brubank is a bank authorized by Argentina's Central Bank (BCRA) and gives you a CBU.
- If you also hold a US dollar account at Brubank, it has its own CBU; Sacamos pays ARS, so use the peso account.
- Brubank has no branches; everything, including changing your alias, is done in the app.

How it compares
Every option below works. They differ in who holds your funds, how many steps it takes and how pricing is shown. This is a qualitative comparison — fees and speeds change, so check each provider's current terms.
| Option | Custody | Steps | Speed | Pricing | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sacamos (non-custodial off-ramp) | You keep USDC in your wallet until you send it to a one-time partner deposit address | Verify once, add bank, get quote, send from wallet | Depends on the local rail; instant rails usually minutes | Rate and fees shown upfront in the quote | Getting paid in USDC and cashing out straight from your own wallet | Supports USDC on Solana and Base only; identity verification required |
| Centralized exchange (deposit, sell, withdraw) | The exchange holds your funds while you trade and withdraw | Deposit, place a sell order, then request a fiat withdrawal | Varies by exchange and withdrawal method | Trading spread/fees plus withdrawal fees; can be cost-effective for large amounts | Active traders who already keep a balance on an exchange | Extra steps, custody risk, and sending to the exchange on a network it supports |
| Bitso | Custodial exchange account | Deposit USDC on a supported network, convert, withdraw to your local account | Often fast on local rails; varies | Conversion spread/fees per Bitso's schedule | Users already verified on Bitso who want a local exchange | Funds sit in a custodial account between steps |
| P2P marketplace (e.g. Binance P2P) | Platform escrow holds the crypto during the trade | Deposit to the platform, pick a buyer, wait for their bank transfer, release | Depends on the counterparty | Set by each buyer; can be competitive | Flexible payment methods and markets with few other options | Counterparty and scam risk (fake receipts, reversed or third-party payments) |
| Sell widgets (MoonPay, Transak) | You send crypto to the provider when you sell | Often built into wallets; verify, sell, receive to bank or card | Varies by country and payout method | Provider fees and spread, shown before confirming | Convenience inside a wallet you already use | Supported countries, tokens and payout rails vary |
Taxes (general information)
General information, not tax advice: in Argentina, ARCA (formerly AFIP) is the tax authority. Income from services and gains from crypto can be subject to income tax, and holdings may matter for wealth tax. Ask a contador about your case.
