### "Useful app, but limited to Argentine bank accounts"

July 1, 2026

5.0

I used the app for a month during my stay in Argentina. It was very useful for making payments through the app and also for transferring money to other users, making it easier and more instant, for example, when splitting a bill with others. The only downside is not being able to link a bank account from outside Argentina.

Pros

The convenience of paying directly from the app on your phone as if it were a debit card, as well as the possibility of instant transfers to other users of the app.

Cons

What I liked least was the limitation when it comes to linking your bank account to the app. It only allows you to link bank accounts within Argentina, and since I was on vacation there, I wanted to link my account from another country, which was not possible. As a result, I was unable to transfer money to my account from my bank.

### "A great platform for your payments"

March 8, 2026

4.0

I´m using Mercado Pago since the launch of the app. Is really popular in my country and i´ve got no complaints. Really simply to use. The functions are most useful everytime like loans.

Pros

Is easy to transfer money. Used by the majority of people in Argentina. Quick money transfers are the best. There´s no bugs and issues, working in every place with internet. The payments are safe and secure. Simply account management.

Cons

Sometimes customer support is slow in their response, making annoying the experience but not frequently

### "Mercado Pago: The greatest always take the mostl"

June 16, 2025

3.0

I definitely use and recommend it because of its top-notch quality and speed. However, I highly encourage users to read between lines when considering using it for loans, and other features and services that are not necessarily related to those of a digital wallet per

Pros

It works as one would expect. It's fast, intuitive, user-oriented, and its interfase is visually appealing. You can rely on it 24/7, as opposed to its competitors in that market.

Cons

It's expensive. If you lose MP's debit card and request a new one, they charge a ridiculous amount of money, when most of its competitors don't charge a thing. It's like they know its platform is the most adopted, and they take advantage of that. They charge way more than banks when you request loans.

### "The best payment platform for LatAm!"

June 28, 2022

Good experience integrating this gateway with several Ecommerce.

Pros

Mercado Pago is easy to use, both in its desktop and mobile versions. Includes one-time payment and subscription. Payment buttons and many integrations for eCommerce websites.

Cons

The commission is a bit high and the period they hold the money before I can collect it is very long.

### "Really good option to get payments from Brazil"

September 17, 2023

5.0

One of the best options on payment processing on Brazil

Pros

It works really well in Brazil, most of the people know about it and trust it so the conversion rate is really good.

Cons

Credit cards are often declined and it's not so clear why. Fees could be lower

### "Mercado Pago Review"

October 31, 2025

Great experience overall , I highly recommend it .I use other digital wallets like this one .But my main choice is Mercado Pago

Pros

Great Ui , many discounts and benefits , the app never fails , easy to use , they pay to keep your money in the app

### "Excellent quality and many benefits"

July 18, 2025

5.0

It's very good because it gives me a lot of benefits, one of which is the advance payment of receivables, the rates that aren't so high compared to other companies and the opportunity to borrow money for my business.

Pros

Of the various tools available to the user, in addition to the digital account, credit card, it is also possible to make sales through the machines or even payment links.

Cons

It could improve the difficulty of facial recognition. Also improve the interest on debts. Other than that, everything's fine with the app.

### "Very practical and efficient. Fulfills its purpose. I recommend it."

February 5, 2025

5.0

My experience with Mercado Pago has been very good, it's the most practical transfer system and the one I use the most in general.

Pros

It's very easy to use. From the first time I used it, I found it easy to use and its interface is also very helpful.

Cons

The download option could be a little simpler to use, but overall, for me, that's the only thing that could be improved.

### "Mercado Pago, your e-wallet"

August 14, 2024

5.0

My overall experience using the Mercado Pago platform has been great in so many ways, they've provided a reliable fast and secure tool to be satisfied with.

Pros

Mercado Pago as a platform has made the e-payment system as simple as it should be, and it's awesome that it has developed this way.

Cons

I think sometimes you get some update when you need to pay, but they addressed this issue and you can skip the update, pay and then go back to update the application.

### "Muchas opciones de pagos"

November 14, 2024

5.0

Pros

Es un excelente procesador de pagos, fácil de implementar con woocommerce para el comercio electrónico, además que permite que mis clientes realicen pagos con varias opciones. Además, los tiempos en que se transfieren los fondos es rápido a comparación de otros procesadores de pago

Cons

A veces el sistema bloquea los pagos con tarjeta de credito cuando el cliente realiza un segundo o tercer pago, este inconveniente es aislado, es decir no sucede siempre, por lo demás me encanta Mercado Pago.

Alternatives considered

[PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/)

Reason for choosing Mercado Pago

Lo elegí para complementar mi comercio electrónico. Ya que gran parte de mis clientes que prefieren no usar PayPal.

May 5, 2023

4.0

Utilizo pela praticidade, mas tem itens que deixam um pouco a desejar.

Pros

É simples começar a utilizar o software e também é bem conhecido, o que gera credibilidade.

Cons

O alto índice de cancelamento de pagamentos com cartão, também os relatórios gerenciais e extratos.

### "Mercado pago"

May 24, 2023

5.0

A aplicação atende bem, aceita as principais bandeiras do mercado e não nos deixa na mão quando o quesito é soluções de pagamento, você pode cobrar e receber por diversos canais, como presencial, através de links personalizáveis e em seu site.A criação de uma loja virtual é um dos diferenciais do programa, porque habilita muitas pessoas a terem a sua loja, mas falta integrar um estoque para todos os locais de venda, como presencial, via link e site.

Pros

As soluções para recebimento são várias, isso nos deixa seguros para ampliar nossa atividade e atender nosso cliente de diferentes maneiras, e assim, centralizar as informações do negócio em uma única plataforma nos ajuda a gerenciar melhor as entradas.

Cons

A taxa do mercado pago para recebimento na hora é bem alta.O app ou maquineta poderia nos deixar criar um estoque com preços e escolher os itens para passar e logo dar baixa no estoque daquela peça que foi vendida.

### "Mercado Pago, plateforme de paiement en ligne, filiale du groupe MercadoLibre"

August 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

Mercado Pago offre de nombreux avantages, notamment une large acceptation dans toute l'Amérique latine, ce qui en fait une solution idéale pour les entreprises qui ciblent cette région. Il propose également une gamme complète de services financiers, y compris le traitement des paiements, les transferts d'argent et le financement pour les acheteurs, ce qui améliore l'expérience client et favorise la croissance des entreprises. De plus, Mercado Pago se distingue par sa simplicité d'intégration et sa convivialité, ce qui en fait un choix attrayant pour les entreprises de toutes tailles cherchant à gérer efficacement leurs transactions en ligne.

Cons

il possède des frais de traitement qui peuvent être relativement élevés, en particulier pour les petites entreprises, ce qui peut avoir un impact sur leur rentabilité. De plus, bien que Mercado Pago soit largement accepté en Amérique latine, son utilisation peut être moins répandue dans d'autres régions, ce qui peut limiter son attrait pour les entreprises ayant une portée internationale.

### "Aplicación muy completa"

May 9, 2023

5.0

Tiene que la ventaja de que con una sola aplicación puedes hacer muchos movimientos, pago de servicios, compras con promociones a meses sin intereses, recarga de saldo, acceso a un crédito, la verdad que muy recomendable.

Pros

Tiene muchas opciones, es la aplicación más completa que conozco, con ella cobro ya que cuento con point, pago servicios ya sea a crédito y/o con saldo en la cuenta y/o alguna tarjeta, la verdad que es bastante práctica, recargo saldo, entre muchas otras cosas más.

Cons

Creon que cobrar para ser nivel 6, tengo mucho tiempo usandola y no bajaba del nivel, solo que piden cierta cantidad de puntos para mantenerlos y en ocasiones no los completaba, ahora estoy pagando la suscripción.

### "Mi pasarela de pago preferida en internet."

December 17, 2022

Mi experiencia con Mercado Pago es muy buena, ya que gestiono mis pagos en internet con la tarjeta.

Pros

Lo que más gusta de MercadoPago es que puedo cobrar en línea y mi dinero lo recibo en la misma tarjeta de MercadoPago. No tengo que transferir los fondos. También me gusta que puedo seleccionar los días de pago.

Cons

Lo no me gusta es que la integración con WordPress no es al 100% y no tengo marca blanca.

Su atención al cliente suele demorar mucho, sin embargo, son pocas las ocasiones en las que he requerido comunicarme con ellos.

### "You can do a lot of things on this bank app"

August 7, 2022

4.0

the fact that you can pay for multiple services already makes it an application that you can use on a daily basis, regardless of all the banking services it represents

Pros

You can buy tickets for theater, pay at restaurants, pay services as electricity bill, or the internet bill, and, if you have a small business, you can use it to charge your customers, and you can even buy or rent a payment terminal.

Cons

Sometimes the payments or the money you put into your account takes too long to arrive, and this is something that does not happen with other bigger banks
