Belo
Belo is a virtual bank that operates across several Latin American countries. You can open an account through its app in just a few minutes, at no cost, and easily deposit money into it using local payment methods. You can then use that money to buy, sell, and transfer Bitcoin, which is what matters here. While the process is quick, we recommend creating your account and depositing funds into it before requesting our service to avoid delays or payment issues.
1 Download the app
Start by downloading and installing the official Belo app on your phone. You can find it in the iOS or Android store under the name "belo: your financial passport", or click one of the images below:
2 Create an account
Once the app is installed, it’s time to create your account.
Registration is simple and works like any other app: just follow the on-screen instructions.
After creating your account, you will need to complete identity verification. You’ll have to take a photo of your ID Card or Passport and a short video of your face. The process is automatic, the app will guide you step by step, and it usually takes just a few minutes.
Once your identity is verified, your account will be fully ready to use.
Identity verification is a legal requirement. Belo is a registered financial entity in Argentina and must comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. Your reason for buying Bitcoin remains private. Bitcoin transactions are anonymous, and no one can know who or why you send them. Belo only checks that the funds come from an account in your name and are not stolen. This is standard procedure for any bank or wallet and does not affect your privacy.
3 Deposit money
Now that you have created your account and verified your identity, you need to deposit money into your Belo account, which you will then use to buy Bitcoin.
To make the deposit, follow these steps:
- Open the Belo app.
- Tap "Deposit".
- Select your country's local currency.
- Select the payment method that you wish to use.
- You will see the payment details. Simply transfer the amount you wish to those details shown on-screen, and the money will be credited to your Belo account.
Payments are usually instant unless otherwise stated in the app, so you should see the money credited to your Belo account within 1 or 2 minutes after making the payment.
Once the funds are in your account, you’re ready to buy Bitcoin, as explained in the next step.
4 Buy Bitcoin
To buy Bitcoin with the balance in your Belo account, follow these steps:
- Open the Belo app.
- Tap "Swap".
- In "I want to swap", enter the amount of money that you want to exchange for Bitcoin, or tap "Use all" to exchange your entire balance.
- In "I will receive", make sure the selected currency is "BTC" (Bitcoin).
- Tap "Continue".
- Slide to confirm the operation.
Congratulations! You have successfully purchased Bitcoin.
5 Make payment
If you have reached this point, you have already purchased Bitcoin and it is in your Belo account. You can leave it there until it’s time to pay for our service.
When it’s time to pay, you just need to transfer the Bitcoin from your Belo account to our Bitcoin address.

Congratulations! You have successfully sent the Bitcoin to our address.
