What is your Argentinian CVU or Alias?

Your Argentinian CVU/Alias is a local account identifier that lets anyone in Argentina send you Argentine pesos (ARS) directly from any bank or digital wallet. When a deposit arrives, the ARS is automatically converted to USDC and credited to your Airtm wallet. No action needed on your end.

What is a CVU, and what is an Alias?

A CVU (Clave Virtual Uniforme) is the standard account identifier used across Argentina's banking and payments system, similar to a bank account number. Your Alias is a shorter, human-readable label that points to the same account. Senders can use either one to transfer ARS to you.

How deposits work

1. Share your CVU or Alias with whoever is sending you ARS.
2. They send the funds from any Argentine bank or digital wallet.
3. The ARS is received and automatically converted to USDC.
4. USDC lands in your Airtm wallet.

Who can use it?

• Your Airtm identity verification must be complete (Tier Verified or Enhanced Verified). If it isn't, you'll be prompted to verify when you try to activate your CVU/Alias.
• Available for users in Argentina. The CVU/Alias feature is being rolled out gradually — when it becomes available for your account, the option will appear in the app automatically. The system activates it on its own; it cannot be manually enabled for specific accounts.

A few things to know

• Your CVU/Alias cannot be deleted or deactivated once created.
• You can update your Alias at any time, subject to a 24-hour window between changes (the first change after creation can be made immediately).
• If your account status changes due to a compliance review, access to your CVU/Alias may be temporarily suspended. Contact support for help.
