Why Am I Seeing “Contact Concierge” When Trying To Activate ARS?

If you’re a resident but see a “Contact Concierge” error when activating ARS, it’s usually related to your identity verification document.

In most cases, this happens because your original KYC was completed using a document that can’t be used for local ARS payment rails (such as a Driver’s License or Residence Permit).

What Should I Do?

You’ll need to update your verification document.

To resolve this:

1. Contact support@kast.xyz.
2. Request a KYC document update.
3. Provide a valid Passport or DNI for verification.

Once your profile is updated with a supported document, you’ll be able to activate and use ARS features normally.

If you’re unsure which document you used during onboarding, our support team can confirm and guide you through the update process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can use ARS pay-in and payout?

Availability depends on your region and account verification status. If ARS options are visible in your app, your account is eligible to use the feature.

I sent money to a CBU, but the bank rejected it. Where is my refund?

If a transfer to a CBU is rejected by the receiving bank, the funds are returned once the rejection is confirmed. Refunds are typically credited back to your KAST account within 1–2 business days after the return is processed.

How long do ARS deposits take?

ARS pay-ins and payouts are processed instantly, 24/7. In most cases, funds appear in real time once the transfer is confirmed.

A pending status usually means the transfer is still being processed by the local banking system. If it remains pending longer than expected, please contact Concierge for assistance.

Why can’t I see the “Receive ARS” button?

This feature is strictly available to Argentine residents. If your verified KYC address is outside Argentina, you will not be able to generate a CVU.

I am a resident, but I get an error saying “Contact Concierge” when trying to activate.

Once a withdrawal has been submitted and processed, it generally cannot be canceled. Always double-check the recipient’s details before confirming the transfer.
