How to send money from UK to Argentina

Pick a company

For a one-off GBP transfer to Argentina, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.

MoneyGram was the cheapest on 6 of the 29 days it quoted £6,000 transfers to Argentina.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most ARS.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/ARS rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually both cheapest and quickest, since most companies connect straight into your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On a £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple of hours.

Compare amounts

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send £6,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what £6,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more ARS per GBP than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

In the past month, a money transfer company beat the mid-market rate on 25 of the last 30 days.

Right now, MoneyGram pays 12,793,885.2 ARS on 6,000 GBP, which is 524,101.97 ARS more than the mid-market amount, so it's a good deal (pretty much free money).

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 13,191,179.47 ARS.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

If you need to send money now, it's a good time to send.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Argentina.

We've tracked 196 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

  1. MoneyGramAppeared in 161 comparisons

    Cheapest in 15% of them

  2. TapTap SendAppeared in 185 comparisons

    Cheapest in 41% of them

  3. Regency FXAppeared in 93 comparisons

    Cheapest in 5% of them

Based on 196 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today MoneyGram is the cheapest and gets you the most ARS, but it was the cheapest in only 15% of the 161 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

TapTap Send (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 41% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Argentina.

If it's a one-off transfer, go with MoneyGram, since it's the cheapest right now.

Consider this when sending GBP to Argentina

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Argentina such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/ARS transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for a £6,000 transfer to Argentina:

Cheapest way to send money to Argentina

The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via mobile wallet. You will get AR$12,793,885.2, which is 4.25% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Argentina

The fastest way is to use TapTap Send via debit card deposit and mobile wallet for pay out. You get AR$12,250,482 and it will arrive in minutes.

UK transfer limits

There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.

Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).

Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.

And on bigger GBP/ARS transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

These are anti-money-laundering checks, and they can hold your transfer up, so have the documents ready.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending £6,000 with MoneyGram will get you 12,793,885.2 ARS, that’s including £0 fee and -4.18% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like on the other hand, will get you AR$0, that’s £ in fees but % in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Argentina.

And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.

Staying safe when sending abroad

Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.

The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.

Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.
