Send money from Saudi Arabia to Argentina
For senders in Riyadh and Jeddah, the Buenos Aires side matters most. Gulf-based families support students and relatives in Buenos Aires, and Gulf firms pay Argentine contractors. From Riyadh, that means USD turned into Argentine pesos at a rate you can see, landing in Buenos Aires the same day.

The Saudi Arabia to Argentina corridor, explained
From Jeddah to Buenos Aires. Gulf-based families support students and relatives in Buenos Aires, and Gulf firms pay Argentine contractors.
Expatriates in Saudi Arabia fund Grey from abroad: a salary paid in dollars, a client overseas, family. That balance sends home without a riyal step. Grey then shows the USD to ARS rate and fee as two separate numbers and delivers to Banco Nación or any other bank in Argentina. The recipient doesn't need Grey.
How sending to Argentina works
Sign up
Open Grey with your passport or iqama. You'll get USD, EUR and GBP account details to receive income from abroad. Grey works with licensed partners serving the Gulf.
Fund
Your Grey balance in Riyadh comes from abroad: a dollar salary, a euro invoice, a GreyTag from family. Any of those pays for Buenos Aires.
Send
Ask the recipient for their CBU or CVU. Grey converts USD to ARS at the quoted rate and shows the peso figure before you confirm.
What a transfer to Argentina actually costs
Grey prices the transfer once, in Riyadh. You see the rate, you see the fee, and the ARS amount that lands at Banco Nación is the one you agreed to.
No re-pricing after you tap send
Rate fixed at confirmation, ARS amount shown before you send, nothing adjusted after. That's the whole promise from Riyadh to Buenos Aires.
On a route where the destination currency moves, it's the reason to use a service at all.
Why this corridor gets overlooked
Few banks quote ARS at all. Those that do route through dollars with wide margins and slow settlement. From Jeddah, Grey turns that into a quoted USD to ARS rate and a ARS deposit at Banco Nación, same as any local transfer.
Delivered like a local payment
Delivery is to the bank account, in ARS, as a domestic credit. That covers Banco de la Nación, Banco Galicia, Santander Argentina, BBVA Argentina and every other bank in Argentina. Nothing for the recipient to do, and a settlement record for you in Riyadh.
Straight to the account
No cash pickup, no agent, no collection code. ARS into the bank.
One recipient, many payments
Save the Buenos Aires recipient once and reuse the details.

How Saudi-based senders fund
Expatriates in Saudi Arabia fund Grey from abroad: a salary paid in dollars, a client overseas, family. That balance sends home without a riyal step. A transfer to Buenos Aires is then one conversion, shown before you confirm.
Income arrives
From an employer, a platform or a client abroad.
Balance waits
In USD, until the Argentina payment is due.
Transfer goes
One conversion to ARS, into Banco Nación.
If you're covering a monthly obligation in Buenos Aires, a standing balance on Grey means the transfer never waits on a bank in Riyadh.
