Works with Moreta Pay
Pay BNA+ codes without a Argentine bank
Yes. Moreta Pay lets visitors pay BNA+ codes in Argentina without a Argentine bank account. Add money from the bank or card you already have, scan the BNA+ code at the counter and slide to pay in Argentine peso. The merchant is paid the same way as when a local scans it.

What is BNA+?
BNA+ is the mobile banking app and wallet of Banco de la Nación Argentina, the state-owned bank. Customers pay shops by scanning the QR code on the merchant’s terminal and paying from their account.

How to spot it
The QR code on the shop’s terminal or counter; BNA+ pays Argentina’s interoperable codes, whatever logo they show.
Can tourists pay BNA+?
BNA+ lives inside a bank’s app, so it needs an account opened in Argentina. A card from home can’t pay the code on the counter, and opening a local account takes paperwork a visit rarely leaves time for.
Moreta closes that gap. It pays the BNA+ code itself, from a balance you top up with your own bank, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and converts at the live rate at the moment you pay. One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay.
Card or cash
- A foreign transaction fee on most cards
- Your bank's rate, or the terminal's worse one
- ATM fees from your bank and the operator
- Leftover Argentine peso to change back
Moreta
- One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay
- The live rate at the moment you pay
- No ATM and no card to hand over
- What you do not spend stays for the next country
How to pay a BNA+ code
Set Moreta up once, at home or on the plane. After that, paying a BNA+ code in Argentina is a scan and a slide.

Local tips
- Look for the Mercado Pago or MODO code. Interoperable QR means one sticker serves every wallet.
- Prices move with inflation, so the live rate at the moment you scan is the right rate to pay.
- Keep a few small peso notes for buses in smaller towns and the odd cash-only kiosk.
