Coinepay | How to Send Money to Ualá from Abroad with Coinepay

Ualá is a popular virtual-wallet app in Latin America, and friends, family or suppliers who use it can receive cross-border transfers from you through Coinepay Global Remittance. The important thing to know before you start is that Ualá works differently in each country it serves, so the details you need from your recipient depend on where their account lives. This guide walks through what to collect, how to send with Coinepay, and what to check if something looks wrong.

Where Ualá is used and in which currency

Ualá operates in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico. Each country uses its own currency — Argentine pesos, Colombian pesos and Mexican pesos respectively — and each has its own account identifiers and local payment network. Because of that, there is no single universal "Ualá address." The first thing to confirm with your recipient is which country their Ualá account is registered in, so you select the right destination in Coinepay and ask for the correct details.

What you need from your recipient

Always collect the recipient's full name exactly as it appears on their Ualá account (matching their official ID), plus the country-specific identifier below. A name that does not match can hold up or return a payout.

Argentina

Ualá accounts in Argentina are identified by a CVU (a 22-digit payment-account key), a CBU (a 22-digit bank-account key) or an alias (a short identifier of 6–20 characters). Ask your recipient to open their Ualá app and read you the exact CVU or alias tied to the account that should receive the money.

Colombia

Ualá in Colombia participates in Bre-B, the country's interoperable instant-transfer service that launched in October 2025. Your recipient registers a llave (key) in the app under Bre-B → Registrar llave; the key can be their registered Colombian mobile number, identity-document number, email address or an entity-issued identifier beginning with @. You need their llave (or QR) to direct the payout to their Ualá wallet.

Mexico

For Mexico, Ualá accounts receive deposits through SPEI using an 18-digit CLABE. Ask your recipient for the CLABE shown in their Ualá app. Note that Ualá Mexico also has a separate "Dinero del extranjero" feature for collecting remittances via named cash channels using a collection code — that is a different route from a direct wallet deposit, so confirm with your recipient which one they expect before you send.

How to send with Coinepay, step by step

Before you can send, you need a Coinepay account with identity verification (KYC) completed. If you are new, create your account and download the app from the App Store or Google Play.

Open Global Remittance in the Coinepay app or dashboard and start a new transfer.
Choose the destination country — Argentina, Colombia or Mexico — to match your recipient's Ualá account.
Select the mobile-wallet payout method for Ualá, or the local payout option that routes to the identifier you have (CVU/alias for Argentina, Bre-B llave for Colombia, CLABE for Mexico).
Enter the recipient's details: their full legal name exactly as registered, plus the country-specific identifier. Double-check every digit of a CVU, CLABE or llave before moving on.
Enter the amount you want to send or the amount you want them to receive.
Review the exchange rate and fees, which Coinepay shows clearly on screen, along with the estimated arrival time, before you confirm. Nothing is charged until you approve.
Confirm the transfer. You may be asked to verify your identity again or to state the purpose or source of funds — this is part of standard compliance screening.

Tracking the transfer and how your recipient sees it

Every Coinepay transfer has live status tracking in the app, so you can follow it from "sent" through to "delivered." Transfers can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and the destination country; the estimate you saw before confirming is your best guide. When the money lands, your recipient sees it as an incoming deposit in their Ualá balance — on a mobile device, with a notification — ready to spend or move within the app.

Recipient wallet limits and verification

Ualá wallets are subject to local account rules that are set by the destination country, not by Coinepay. In Mexico, Ualá registration requires a valid INE or residence card, so your recipient must have a verified account to receive funds. In Colombia, Bre-B operates under central-bank rules; at the time of writing (October 2026) the Bre-B per-transaction ceiling is set by the regulator and an institution may apply a lower amount, so very large single transfers may not fit a wallet. In Argentina, immediate transfers run 24/7 but are subject to central-bank daily limits per account, with a process to request a temporary increase. If you are unsure whether a payout will fit your recipient's limits, ask them to confirm their account status, and check the exact rules on Ualá's official country site.

Troubleshooting

Wrong number or identifier

Account identifiers route money automatically, so a single wrong digit in a CVU, CLABE or Bre-B llave can send the payout to the wrong place or cause it to fail. Re-read every character back to your recipient before confirming. Argentine transfers in particular cannot be reversed once confirmed, so accuracy matters.

Name mismatch

If the recipient name you entered does not match the name registered on the Ualá account, the payout can be delayed or returned. Use your recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their official ID and Ualá profile.

Wallet limit reached

If a deposit is rejected for exceeding a limit, the amount may be above the per-transaction or daily ceiling the destination applies. Ask your recipient to check their current limits in the Ualá app, or send a smaller amount — never split a transfer specifically to get around a limit or a reporting threshold.

Unverified wallet

Ualá accounts generally must be verified to receive funds (for example, with an INE or residence card in Mexico, or a registered Bre-B llave in Colombia). If a payout cannot be credited, have your recipient confirm their account is fully verified and that their receiving key or CLABE is active.

Compliance review

Coinepay screens customers and counterparties against sanctions lists and applies local regulations. A transfer may be held while Coinepay verifies identity or asks for documents such as the purpose or source of funds. Respond promptly with accurate information to clear the review.

Payout still missing

Because Ualá has several receiving routes, a "missing" payout can have different causes depending on the country — an incorrectly entered Argentine identifier, a Colombian Bre-B key not registered to the intended account, or a Mexican SPEI deposit that has not yet posted. Check your transfer status first, then contact Coinepay support with your transfer reference. You can also reach the team on Telegram.

Before you send

Confirm the country, collect the exact name and identifier, review the rate and fees Coinepay shows you, and keep your transfer reference. For more on Coinepay's services, visit the Coinepay home page. Some services are not available in every jurisdiction, and Coinepay does not serve sanctioned persons or residents of comprehensively sanctioned regions.

FAQ

Which country's details do I need to send to a Ualá account?

It depends on where the account is registered. Argentina uses a CVU, CBU or alias; Colombia uses a Bre-B llave (mobile number, ID, email or @ identifier); Mexico uses an 18-digit CLABE. Always confirm the country with your recipient first.

What recipient information does Coinepay require?

You need the recipient's full legal name exactly as registered on their Ualá account, plus the correct country-specific identifier. Double-check every digit, since identifiers route money automatically and some transfers cannot be reversed.

How fast does money reach a Ualá wallet?

Transfers can arrive in as little as 10 minutes, but the actual time depends on the payout method and destination country. Coinepay shows an estimated arrival time before you confirm, and you can track the status in the app.

What do the exchange rate and fees cost?

Coinepay shows the exchange rate and any fees clearly on screen before you confirm the transfer, so you can review the full cost and nothing is charged until you approve.

Why might my transfer be held for review?

Every transfer is subject to identity verification, sanctions screening and local regulations. Coinepay may ask for documents such as the purpose or source of funds. Provide accurate information promptly to clear the review.
