Can the card be used for international purchases?

The Airtm prepaid card is focused on Argentina, but it can be used internationally, both for physical and online purchases. In other words, when you use your card for transactions in foreign currency, your purchases will be converted to ARS pesos at the selling exchange rate of the BNA. Additionally, the following taxes will be added to the total:

  • PAIS Tax (30%) - details.
  • Withholding on account of Income and Personal Assets taxes (30%).

If your purchase is a digital service included in this list (link), you will be charged:

  • PAIS Tax (8%) - details.
  • Withholding on account of income tax and personal assets tax (30%).
  • VAT on Digital Services (21%).
  • State Taxes on Digital Services depending on the jurisdiction you reside in (CABA: 2%, Province of Buenos Aires: 2%, and Neuquén: 3%).
