Made for everyone sending money to Uruguay

Freelancers and contractors in Uruguay. Designers, developers, writers, and agencies get paid by clients in the US, UK, and Europe. Receive in UYU, no conversion margin chipping away at your invoices.

Global companies paying Uruguayan teams. Pay your developer in Montevideo or your contractor in Punta del Este the same way you'd pay a domestic vendor. $1.50 flat fee, no matter the size of the payroll run.

Uruguayan families abroad. A daughter in Madrid sends her mother's monthly money. A son in Miami covers his father’s medication. A holiday gift to family… $1.50 flat fee.

Your reasons may be different, we all need the same thing: the money has to get there, the fee has to make sense, and the app has to work the same way it did last month.
Do it all on Grey for just $1.50 per transfer.
