Lagos to Buenos Aires, in one conversion
A small corridor: students on exchange, footballers in club academies, and professionals in Buenos Aires. For senders in Lagos, the practical question is simple: how much lands, and when.
Grey answers both before you confirm. NGN converts to ARS once, the fee is shown separately, and the money reaches Banco de la Nación, Banco Galicia, Santander Argentina, BBVA Argentina as a normal deposit. Nigerians top up in naira by bank transfer from GTBank, Access, Zenith, UBA or any other Nigerian bank, and the balance usually shows within minutes. Anyone paid in dollars by a foreign client can send from that USD balance and skip the naira leg.
