Receive money from Saudi Arabia with Peanut
The sender shares a funded Peanut Link, or sends USDC or USDT to your Peanut deposit address. You receive digital dollars.
You can receive money from someone in Saudi Arabia into your Peanut balance. Peanut has no bank route in the local currency, so the money moves as digital dollars. The sender either funds a Peanut Link and shares it with you, or sends USDC or USDT to your deposit address.
After it arrives, you can hold the digital dollars, withdraw through a route available to your account, or pay supported merchant QR codes in Argentina or Brazil.

The Peanut Link route
A Peanut Link starts with the sender. The sender funds their Peanut balance, creates the Link, and sends it to you. You open it and claim the full amount. A claim into a Peanut account is instant once the Link is funded, but the sender's earlier funding step has its own timing.
Creating a Link and claiming it into Peanut are free. One side of the Link transfer must meet the applicable verification rule. Pix and Mercado Pago are not direct Link-claim destinations; claim into Peanut first, then start a supported payment from your balance.
The digital-dollar deposit route
The sender can send USDC or USDT from a wallet or exchange to your Peanut deposit address. Both sides must use the same currency, network and address shown in Peanut, and send at least the minimum the app shows. Peanut covers deposit processing; the sender's wallet or exchange may charge its own withdrawal fee.
Use the received balance
In Argentina, an appropriately verified account can pay supported Mercado Pago merchant QRs. In Brazil, an appropriately verified account can pay supported Pix merchant QRs or pay a Pix key. Review the local amount, exchange rate, and digital-dollar debit before confirming.
Passport verification can support merchant QR payments without an Argentine or Brazilian bank account. Local bank deposits and withdrawals follow stricter rules: ARS routes require Argentine residence and the relevant local tax ID; BRL routes require Brazilian residence and CPF.
Costs to check
Claiming a Link into Peanut is free, and Peanut covers deposit processing. The sender pays any fee their wallet or exchange charges. When you later pay in pesos or reais, the conversion cost is in the rate Peanut shows before you confirm. See pricing.
FAQ
Does the sender in Saudi Arabia need a Peanut account?
Only for a Peanut Link: the sender funds their own Peanut balance to create it. For a digital-dollar deposit, the sender only needs a wallet or exchange that supports the currency and network shown in your app.
Can the sender pay me from a bank in Saudi Arabia?
Peanut has no bank route in the local currency. Use a funded Peanut Link or a USDC or USDT deposit.
How long does it take?
A funded Link claimed into Peanut is instant. A digital-dollar deposit arrives after network confirmation, usually within minutes. The sender's own funding step has its own timing.
What does receiving cost?
Peanut charges nothing to claim a Link and covers deposit processing. The sender's wallet or exchange may charge a fee. A later payment in pesos or reais shows its rate before you confirm.
Can I spend the balance in Argentina or Brazil?
Yes, after the relevant payment verification. Use supported Mercado Pago merchant QRs in Argentina or supported Pix merchant QRs in Brazil. Local bank withdrawals have separate residence and tax-ID rules.
