Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hold an El Dorado account?+
The monthly fee is $0, so holding the account itself carries no standing charge. Currency conversion is charged at 0%, which means the real cost appears when you change money rather than when you keep it.
How much does an El Dorado transfer cost?+
Transfers cost USD 1.99 + 0.99% (ACH), USD 19.99 + 0.99% (wire), and the fixed part of that charge runs $1.99 to $19.99. An ACH send costs less than a wire send, so the payment rail you pick changes the price of the same transfer. The monthly fee stays at $0 on either rail.
How fast is money delivered?+
Delivery is Instant (CL, MX, VE) or up to 6 hours (PY, EC, DO), so the speed you get depends on the destination rather than on any account tier. Sends to some of the markets in that range land straight away, while others take longer, so check the timing for your destination before you commit to a payment date.
What currencies can I hold?+
You can hold 8 currencies in the account. That is a shorter list than most multi-currency providers carry, so it suits work in the markets the service already covers rather than scattered global payments.
Is El Dorado regulated?+
Yes. The service is listed on the 63, the register of virtual asset service providers in Argentina, and the account is operated by El Dorado Labs PY Inc, which is registered in Paraguay.
How do I get money out?+
Payouts go to bank and wallet, so a transfer can land in a bank account or in a wallet. Account details include us ach, which lets you receive money like a local account holder in the United States.
Can I open an account without a branch?+
Yes. The account is digital only (digital only), so signing up, checking balances and asking for help all run on screen. That suits anyone comfortable running their money from a phone, and the account keeps pace with the transfers you send.
Who is El Dorado built for?+
The service is aimed at travelers, business and freelancer, so it is built around people who move money for a living or for family reasons. It fits a dollar balance for Latin American transfers, and it lets you change currency at 0% while the monthly fee stays at $0.
