Belo app alternative for USDT that arrives on TON
Belo serves freelancers paid from abroad but takes no USDT on TON. When a client pays on TON, Unigox is the Belo app alternative: a buyer pays your bank for the USDT. Keep Belo for its US account and card.
When to stay with Belo
Clients abroad pay you through Belo
Belo opens a US account in your name for ACH, FedNow and wire payments, credited to you as USDC. Each ACH or FedNow deposit costs 3 USD and each wire 20 USD. It also takes balances out of PayPal, Payoneer, Wise and Deel.
You spend from your Belo balance
With an Argentine account you get a prepaid Mastercard, bill payments and QR payments in shops. The same QR scanning works in Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. Balances you activate earn a variable return from DeFi protocols, with no promised rate.
Your USDT already sits in Belo
Belo buys and sells crypto with no commission for Argentine accounts and sends pesos to any CBU, CVU or alias, yours or someone else's. Moving the USDT out to sell it elsewhere costs a network fee, 1 USDT on Tron.
One USDT sale in the Belo app and on Unigox
Compared on one sale of USDT for local money. Belo's card, QR payments and yield are not part of it.

|---|---|---|
| What it is | A wallet app for people paid from abroad: a US receiving account, platform withdrawals, crypto, a prepaid card and QR payments. Accounts open with an ID from Argentina or 11 other Latin American countries. | A place to sell USDT or USDC you deposit. The buyer is a P2P merchant or a payment business, depending on the currency, and pays your bank account. |

| Who buys your USDT | Belo sells it on your behalf at the price the app shows, which holds for 30 seconds. Argentine accounts pay no commission on the sale. | A P2P merchant or a payment business, depending on the currency, at a rate you see before accepting; the Unigox fee is already in it. |
| Money to your bank | Pesos go from your Belo balance to any CBU, CVU or alias. Belo calls the transfer immediate, with a delay of up to 24 hours possible. | The buyer transfers to the bank account you give when you sell. During a trade the crypto sits in an on-chain escrow that Unigox can release only to the buyer or the seller. |
| Sending USDT out | Only the network fee, shown in the app before you confirm: 1 USDT on Tron, BNB Chain, Solana and most other networks, 1.7 USDT on Ethereum. Receiving costs nothing. | You can move USDT or USDC between Unigox and an outside wallet before or after a trade. |
| Regulation | Belo Argentina S.A. is on the CNV register of virtual asset service providers as No. 52. Belo keeps the crypto in your account, itself or through a third party, and can freeze it under a court or administrative order. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |
UnigoxFrom USDT on TON to your bank, without Belo
Open and verify a Unigox account
Sign up and pass the Unigox identity check. Belo's verification does not carry over, and the check comes before your first trade at any amount.
Receive the USDT on TON at Unigox
Send your client your Unigox deposit address on TON. You do not move the USDT to another network yourself: Unigox does it, which its wallet says usually takes up to 2 minutes.
Sell, then confirm the payment
Choose your currency, enter the account the buyer should pay and accept the rate. Check that the payment has reached your account, then confirm it. If it has not arrived, open a dispute before the deadline the trade screen shows.
Belo app and Unigox questions
A client paid me USDT on TON. Can I cash it out with Belo?
Not directly. Belo lists no TON network for USDT, and its help centre warns that a deposit on a network it does not support can be lost. Unigox takes USDT on TON as sent. You sell it to a P2P merchant or a payment business who pays your bank, and the USDT sits in an on-chain escrow that Unigox can release only to you or the buyer. For the US account, the card and QR payments, Belo does more.
What is the Belo app, and who can open an account?
A wallet app for freelancers and remote workers paid from abroad. It offers a US account for ACH, FedNow and wire payments, withdrawals from PayPal, Payoneer, Wise and Deel, crypto, a prepaid Mastercard, and QR and bill payments. Accounts open with an identity document from Argentina or one of 11 other Latin American countries, and the features differ by country.
What fees does the Belo app charge?
With an Argentine account, buying and selling crypto carries no commission. Sending crypto out costs the network fee: 1 USDT on Tron and most networks, 1.7 USDT on Ethereum. Receiving is free. Deposits to the US account cost 3 USD by ACH or FedNow and 20 USD by wire. The US account lasts a year from activation and renews automatically at 3 USD, which Belo may waive. Unigox charges nothing separately: its fee is part of the rate quoted before you sell.
Is the Belo app regulated, and who holds your crypto?
Belo Argentina S.A. is on the CNV register of virtual asset service providers as No. 52. Its terms say Belo, or a third party it uses, keeps the crypto in your account and may freeze or transfer it under a court or administrative order. Returns on activated balances come from DeFi protocols and vary.
