Some years ago it was possible to get set up using only a passport number. Not sure if that is still the case due to new security requirements or if this only apply when linking transactions to a credit or debit card instead of cash deposited to your CVU at a Rappipago etc.Just looking into this ourselves! We've just landed and will be here for about 6 months, but just using tourist visas to remote work.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get set up with MercadoPago if you don't have a DNI? It's pretty clear already that using cash for every single transaction mostly annoys the locals.
Still haven't figured out how to contact them directly. So far it seems to require that we have an account to contact them, which of course we can't create with a DNI. If anyone has a link that doesnt require login please let me know!Some years ago it was possible to get set up using only a passport number.

Try contacting them directly and ask if it is possible to set up and validate your account without a DNI (as there is usually a digital verification step involved that only works with DNIs)

Is anyone aware of one of these cashless systems that can be used by a tourist/non-resident? (that isn't just a credit card). Obviously we're looking for a way to use our WU rate cash

Exactly right, the only thing that might annoy them is having to find change.Lol You didn't get the locals if you think they are annoyed with cash)) jaja they love cash. Dirty liquid cash from which they won't pay taxes-they love it.
