Argentina: BIND-Mastercard launch Pagos FX for SME import payments in pesos

Grupo BIND and Mastercard launched 'Pagos FX', a platform enabling Argentine SMEs to pay foreign invoices in pesos via CVU and cash dollar with liquidation (CCL), bypassing foreign bank accounts. This facilitates import payments amid capital controls, potentially easing SME trade friction. The solution's adoption and regulatory implications remain uncertain.
