What rates do virtual wallets offer today?

Interest rates vary among wallets depending on the type of yield (daily or monthly), the crediting, and whether additional benefits apply.

These are the annual rates (TNA) that the main platforms pay today:

  • Ualá: 35% TNA, with monthly yields.
  • Naranja X: 31% TNA, with daily crediting.
  • Mercado Pago: 27.3% TNA, with daily yields.
  • Personal Pay: variable rate depending on the customer level; allows for additional benefits.

How to choose the best wallet to invest?

It's not just about the interest rate, but also the frequency at which interests are capitalized and the associated costs. If you're looking for daily availability, Naranja X and Mercado Pago are more practical options. If you're aiming to maximize monthly yield, Ualá leads in percentage.

Can you buy MEP dollar from these apps?
