London to Buenos Aires, in one conversion
Spain and Italy have deep family ties with Argentina, and Europeans pay Argentine freelancers in pesos. For senders in London, the practical question is simple: how much lands, and when.
Grey answers both before you confirm. GBP 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. UK senders fund by Faster Payments from Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest or Monzo. The pound balance sits on Grey until the transfer is due.
