Lemon Cash alternative for USDT held outside Lemon
Keep Lemon as your everyday wallet, card and savings. For USDT you hold outside Lemon, Unigox is a Lemon Cash alternative: a buyer pays your bank while the USDT sits in escrow.
When to stay with Lemon
Lemon is where you keep your money
Digital dollars in Lemon earn about 4% a year once yield is on. They are placed in DeFi protocols where the rate moves with the market, with no promised return, and you can lose part of what you placed. Pesos earn a daily yield too. Lemon also gives you a Visa card with cashback, QR payments in Argentina and Brazil and more than 4,000 bills and subscriptions to pay. Unigox only trades stablecoins.
Your USDT is already in Lemon
Lemon buys digital dollars itself at the sell price it shows before you confirm, for a 0.5% fee, and moving pesos out to any CBU or CVU in Argentina is free. Withdrawing the USDT to sell it elsewhere would add Lemon's network and service fee.
You trade with other Lemon users
Lemon's P2P market matches USDT and pesos between Lemon accounts, and the other side's funds show up in your balance as soon as you confirm. Posting costs 1% when someone takes your offer; taking a post costs 1.5%.
