How Argentina goes online
Argentina is intensely online, and years of inflation made digital money normal: Mercado Pago and Ualá are used daily, instalments are a way of life, and Mercado Libre is the default place to buy almost anything.
Around 89.1%. With a population of about 46 million and 41 million online, roughly 5 million people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
