What you can pay for
Why it helps in Uruguay
In Uruguay it is common to think in dollars: many people save in that currency and several big-ticket prices are listed in dollars. For what you pay online in dollars, the card avoids the bank's conversion; and if you keep part of your savings in USDT, you can spend them without going through an account.
At supermarkets and stores in Uruguay
It is a virtual card: to pay in a physical store, add it to Apple Pay on your iPhone (Apple Pay works in Uruguay) and tap your phone on the terminal. It works at supermarkets like Tienda Inglesa, Disco, Devoto, Ta-Ta or Géant, pharmacies, restaurants and any store that accepts contactless Visa. On Android, if Google Wallet is available on your phone, add it to Google Pay the same way.
