Kenya to Argentina without the detour
Nairobi's tech and NGO workforce is paid in dollars, and Kenyans send abroad for study, trade and family. Looking at Buenos Aires, the picture is clear. A small corridor: students on exchange, footballers in club academies, and professionals in Buenos Aires.
Grey converts KES to ARS in one step and pays into Banco de la Nación, Banco Galicia, Santander Argentina, BBVA Argentina or any other bank in Argentina. Your recipient sees a normal ARS credit and never needs to open a Grey account.
How sending to Argentina works

Sign up
Sign up with a national ID or passport. Approval typically lands before you've finished adding your recipient in Buenos Aires. Grey works with licensed partners in Kenya.
Fund
Fund by M-Pesa or bank transfer. Most top-ups credit within minutes, and the KES sits on Grey until you convert it for Buenos Aires.
Send
Ask the recipient for their CBU or CVU. Grey converts KES to ARS at the quoted rate and shows the peso figure before you confirm.
Why the rate matters more than the fee
The ARS figure Grey quotes in Nairobi is the figure Banco Nación credits. There's no second conversion on the Argentina side to eat into it.

No adjustments after the fact

The KES to ARS rate you see at confirmation is the rate applied. If the shillings move between your tap in Nairobi and settlement in Buenos Aires, your recipient's amount doesn't.
That matters when you've promised a specific figure in Argentine pesos.


Why Kenya to Argentina deserves a proper rate
Anyone in Mombasa who has sent to Banco Nación the old way knows this. Few banks quote ARS at all. Those that do route through dollars with wide margins and slow settlement. Grey gives a sender in Nairobi a locked rate, a visible fee and a ARS deposit that arrives whole.
Arriving in Argentina
Your recipient receives ARS at Banco de la Nación, Banco Galicia, Santander Argentina, BBVA Argentina or any other Argentine bank as an ordinary deposit. The transfer shows as settled in your Grey app in Nairobi at the same moment.

Any Argentine bank
Enter the account number and bank name. The ARS posts directly to that account.

Funding, step by step
Funding from Mombasa for a transfer to Buenos Aires works like this. Kenyans top up by M-Pesa or bank transfer from KCB, Equity or Co-operative Bank. Nairobi's dollar-earning tech and NGO workforce can send from USD directly. Convert to ARS when a payment to Banco Nación is due, not before.

Why send to Argentina with Grey
A small corridor: students on exchange, footballers in club academies, and professionals in Buenos Aires. Grey exists on this route so that the ARS arriving in Buenos Aires is never a surprise to the person who sent it from Nairobi.
Senders in Nairobi see two numbers, fee and rate, before anything moves. ARS then lands in any Argentine bank. [VERIFY ARS local payout live: Notion DB says No, Slack May 12 says testing complete]
