Send money from Türkiye to Uruguay

For senders in Istanbul and Ankara, the Montevideo side matters most. Uruguay has a settled Lebanese and Syrian community, and family ties persist. From Istanbul, that means USD turned into Uruguayan pesos at a rate you can see, landing in Montevideo the same day.

The Türkiye to Uruguay corridor, explained

From Ankara to Montevideo. Uruguay has a settled Lebanese and Syrian community, and family ties persist.

Turkish exporters and freelancers receive USD into Grey from foreign buyers and clients. Sending from that balance avoids the lira leg entirely. Grey then shows the USD to UYU rate and fee as two separate numbers and delivers to BROU or any other bank in Uruguay. The recipient doesn't need Grey.

How sending to Uruguay works

Sign up

You'll need a passport or kimlik. Once verified, you have USD, EUR and GBP account details to give employers or clients, and Uruguay as a destination. Grey works with licensed partners serving Türkiye.

Fund

Your Grey balance in Istanbul comes from abroad: a dollar salary, a euro invoice, a GreyTag from family. Any of those pays for Montevideo.

Send

Enter the recipient's BROU, Santander or Itaú account number. Grey shows the USD to UYU rate and the exact pesos before you confirm.

What a transfer to Uruguay actually costs

Grey prices the transfer once, in Istanbul. You see the rate, you see the fee, and the UYU amount that lands at BROU is the one you agreed to.

No re-pricing after you tap send

Rate fixed at confirmation, UYU amount shown before you send, nothing adjusted after. That's the whole promise from Istanbul to Montevideo.

On a route where the destination currency moves, it's the reason to use a service at all.

Why this corridor gets overlooked

When a bank can't quote a currency, it tells you to send dollars. The person in Montevideo then pays their bank's spread and a receiving fee, and you never know what they actually got. From Ankara, Grey turns that into a quoted USD to UYU rate and a UYU deposit at BROU, same as any local transfer.

What arrives in Uruguay

Delivery is to the bank account, in UYU, as a domestic credit. That covers Banco República, Santander Uruguay, Itaú Uruguay, Scotiabank Uruguay and every other bank in Uruguay. Nothing for the recipient to do, and a settlement record for you in Istanbul.

Straight to the account

No cash pickup, no agent, no collection code. UYU into the bank.

One recipient, many payments

Save the Montevideo recipient once and reuse the details.

Receipts

Download a receipt for each transfer showing rate, fee and UYU delivered.

How Turkish senders fund

Turkish exporters and freelancers receive USD into Grey from foreign buyers and clients. Sending from that balance avoids the lira leg entirely. A transfer to Montevideo is then one conversion, shown before you confirm.

Foreign income

Dollars, euros or pounds received on Grey fund the transfer.

Hold, then convert

Keep the balance in USD and convert to UYU when the payment is due.

Existing balance

Convert and send in one step.

If you're covering a monthly obligation in Montevideo, a standing balance on Grey means the transfer never waits on a bank in Istanbul.
