For your recipient

Bank transfer: No, funds are deposited directly into their bank account.
Mi Dinero, Oca Blue, Prex: No, but they need to already have an active account with the relevant wallet, registered with their Uruguayan Cédula de Identidad, since none of these currently offer cash pickup without one.
What details does my recipient need to provide?
Bank transfer: Their bank name and account number, plus their ID type and number.
Mi Dinero, Oca Blue, Prex: Their full name, ID type and number, and phone number.
How does my recipient cash out?
Bank transfer: Funds appear directly in their Uruguayan bank account.
Mi Dinero, Oca Blue, Prex: Funds are deposited directly into their wallet account and are available immediately to spend, transfer to a bank account, or use with the wallet's prepaid card, where applicable.
