Exness Argentina: ARS Account, CNV Alert, Demo and Hours

Short answer: Argentina is not named in Exness's list of countries it does not serve, and unlike most of Latin America the Argentine peso (ARS) is an Exness account currency for Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero accounts. Whether to hold an ARS account is a separate question, because a peso balance carries the peso's own exchange-rate risk. The Argentine regulator, the CNV, published an enforcement alert about EXNESS SC LTD. in May 2026, so read the legal section before depositing.

Disclosure: OnForex earns a referral commission if you open an Exness account through our links.

Sources: the Exness Help Center ("Trading account currencies", "How do I contact Exness?", swap-free status), checked October 29, 2026; the Exness website footer (country restrictions), checked October 29, 2026; and the IOSCO I-SCAN entry ID 52322 as listed in search results (we could not open the entry itself). We did not open an Argentine account, so we do not describe live deposit screens.

Is Exness available in Argentina?

Exness's website footer says it does not serve residents of the USA, Canada, Iran, North Korea, Europe, the UK, Russia and Belarus, "and others". Argentina is not named, but the list is not complete, so the country list in the registration form is the final check. If Argentina appears, you can create a Personal Area and a demo account.

Is ARS an account currency?	Yes, for Standard, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero. Standard Cent uses cent currencies such as USC	Help Center, "Trading account currencies"

ARS account or USD account?

Argentina is one of the few Latin American countries where the Help Center lists the local currency, which makes the choice real. The account currency cannot be changed after creation, and conversions apply whenever you deposit or withdraw in another currency.

	ARS account	USD account
Balance shown in	Pesos	Dollars
Quotes	Gold, EURUSD and most pairs are quoted in dollars; the platform converts profit and loss into pesos	Same quotes, no conversion on profit and loss
Main risk	Your balance is denominated in a currency that has lost value against the dollar in the past	Each deposit and withdrawal depends on the rate you get from the bank or provider
Fits	Traders who earn and spend in pesos and track results in pesos	Traders who think in dollars

Trading profits are not the only thing that moves a peso balance. If the peso falls against the dollar, a profitable account can still be worth fewer dollars, and the reverse. Argentina has also had several exchange rates at once and foreign-exchange rules that change; we did not verify the current rules for this page. Ask your bank which rate applies to the payment you plan to send, and read the Banco Central de la República Argentina (BCRA) notices.

For deposits, the Deposit tab of your Personal Area is the authoritative list. "Exness Mercado Pago" is a frequent search, and we could not confirm it from public Exness pages. Money must come from a bank account, card or wallet in your own name; third-party payments are not accepted. See the deposit and withdrawal guide and deposit time.

Is Exness legal in Argentina? The CNV facts

The Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV) supervises the capital market and publishes alerts on firms not authorised to make public offers: argentina.gob.ar/cnv.

• The IOSCO alert database lists a CNV enforcement alert about EXNESS SC LTD. dated May 27, 2026 (published by IOSCO on May 29, 2026), covering derivatives, CFDs and forex, with the Exness website among the related URLs. We could not open the entry ourselves, so read the original CNV text and date before relying on this summary.
• Separately, the CNV requires virtual-asset service providers to register. We did not check whether this affects any Exness product.
• Exness operates through several group companies authorised by different financial regulators around the world. The company that serves you is named in your client agreement and in the footer of your Personal Area. Check the current list on Exness's regulation page and confirm it on the regulator's own register.

This is a short factual note, not legal advice. Beware of similar names: Exnova is a different company. See Exness regulation.
