Argentina and Brazil.

Local payments should be part of your trip.
You’re paying for a coffee and the seller points to a QR code. Using it means working out which local app to download, whether you can sign up, and how to add money.
Tucu brings those local payments into a wallet made for your time abroad.
- Access local payment methods as a visitor.
- Keep one travel wallet for Argentina and Brazil.
- See the rate and total before you pay.
