You can convert your local currency (Mexican pesos, Brazilian reais, Argentine pesos, or Colombian pesos) or Digital Dollars to digital assets, and back, any time from the Buy/Sell screen in the Bitso app.
You need a Bitso account and money available in it before you convert. If you do not have an account yet, create one first: How do I create a Bitso account?. Add funds through a bank transfer: Deposit funds from the app.
Convert to digital assets
- Open the app and tap Buy/Sell at the top.
- Enter the amount you want to convert and tap Continue.
- Review the summary: the amount you will receive and the exchange rate applied. This rate updates every 20 seconds.
- Tap Confirm to complete the conversion.
Convert digital assets back to your local currency or Digital Dollars
Tap the arrow in the middle of the Buy/Sell screen to switch the currency you are converting from. Then follow the same steps: enter the amount, review the summary, and confirm.
Didn't work? Here's what to do
If the conversion does not go through, check these common causes.
- You do not have enough balance to cover the amount you entered. Add funds or lower the amount.
- The exchange rate changed before you confirmed. Start the conversion again to get the current rate.
