Are you new to blockchain? Here’s how you can use it to make payments abroad without banks, obstacles, or delays.

If you have a business in Argentina or Bolivia, countries where there are restrictions imposed by the government related to access to foreign currency, you know that making international payments is not easy.

Banks take days, payments are rejected, fees are extremely high, and many times you cannot access the official dollar.

That's why more and more companies are starting to use a tool that until recently seemed distant: blockchain.

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to understand programming.
You just need to know that blockchain can help you pay suppliers around the world more quickly, simply, and securely.

What is blockchain? (Explained for non-techies)

Blockchain is a technology that allows you to send money or value from person to person, without going through banks.
It is like a digital accounting system that records all transactions in a public, secure, and error-free manner.

Today, blockchain is used for making international payments with something called digital dollars.

What are digital dollars?

Digital dollars (also called stablecoins, like USDT or USDC) are assets backed by real dollars, but that operate on blockchain.

They have the same value as traditional dollars.
They can be sent anywhere in the world in minutes.
They are accepted by thousands of global suppliers.

For you as a business, using digital dollars is like having a USD account that works without banks and without local restrictions.

Why are so many companies switching to this way of paying?

Because they solve real problems that SMEs face today in Argentina and Bolivia:

Problems with traditional payments:

Transfers that take 5 to 10 days
Payments rejected due to currency controls
Hidden fees or unfavorable exchange rates
Dollars that never reach the supplier
Bureaucracy to justify each payment to the bank

What blockchain offers as an alternative:

Payments in less than 24 hours, to anywhere in the world
No bank hurdles or rejections
Lower costs and no surprises
Total traceability, with receipts and invoicing
Better relationship with your suppliers, because you pay them quickly and in full

Is this legal?

Yes. As long as you use regulated platforms with traceability, paying with digital dollars is 100% legal.

For example, Loula —a fintech designed for businesses in Argentina and Bolivia— allows you to make these payments safely, clearly, and with formal backing.

What do I need to get started?

Nothing complicated. If you work with Loula:

You don’t need to know about blockchain or open a digital wallet.
You don’t need official dollars.
You just need to send the funds in your local currency (ARS or BOB) and Loula takes care of the rest.

In 1 click, your supplier in the USA, Europe, China, India, or anywhere in the world receives the payment in digital USD, quickly and without delays.

Who already uses this type of solution?

Importers bringing products from Asia, the USA, or Europe
Software and service companies paying for digital tools abroad
Agribusiness, supplies, or logistics companies with global suppliers
SMEs that need to pay for licenses, royalties, platforms, or international freelancers
Consultants and regional distributors sending cross-border payments every month

Why is Loula the best way to start?

Loula was created specifically for businesses in Argentina and Bolivia that need to make global payments without suffering through the maze of banks.

Operates outside the official dollar
Is 100% legal, with documentation and support
Works with suppliers from all over the world
And provides support in your language, with human assistance

Blockchain is not the future. It's the present. And the future.
And if you use a solution like Loula, you don’t need to understand how it works internally. You just need to solve your real problem: pay abroad without hurdles, without banks, and without wasting time.
