Purpose of the Role
Argentina is one of the most restricted and operationally complex payment markets in LATAM.
Strict currency controls (CEPO). Card limitations. Heavy reliance on local cash-based and A2A methods.
The purpose of this role is clear:
users in Argentina must always be able to deposit and withdraw funds using convenient local payment methods.
If a user in Argentina cannot deposit funds using a method that works for them, this is not a market issue.
It is a payments failure.
