How to buy MEP dollar from a virtual wallet?
The MEP dollar allows you to buy foreign currency legally, without resorting to the informal market. Although not all wallets allow it, some do offer this option.
This type of operation involves a 24-business-hour waiting period, known as “parking.” Then, the dollars remain in your account, or you can transfer them.
