What Azteco is
Azteco sells prepaid bitcoin vouchers that are redeemed on its site to an on-chain or Lightning wallet the buyer controls. Vouchers are sold directly for cash through local payment networks in several Latin American countries and through approved online stores in over 190 countries. Its help centre says no Azteco account needs to be created or verified to buy or redeem, and that an email address is used only to deliver a voucher bought from Azteco. No terms of service document was found on the site during this review, and resellers may apply their own checks. The site footer names Azteco Holdings USA, Inc. with an address in Santa Monica.
