To use Ria for a money transfer to Argentina, you’ll need the following information:

•Recipient info: Make sure that you know both the first and last names of the person you want to receive money in Argentina (as they appear on their government-issued photo ID) as well as their phone number and address.

•Money amount: Determine how much money you want to send. The Ria app or website will always let you know the precise total amount your recipient will receive — as well as the exchange rate and fees — before you send. 

•Payment method: Decide whether you want to fund the money transfer to Argentina via credit or debit card, cash, or through your bank account.

•Payout method: Your recipient in Argentina can receive money directly in a bank account, or they can pick up cash at one of our partner locations.

There are several ways to send money to Argentina safely and efficiently. Which method is the best for you is a personal decision — it all comes down to how fast you need the Argentina money transfer to arrive, how you want your friends and family to receive it, and how you want to pay.

Bank transfers: You can use your bank to transfer money to a bank in Argentina through an international wire transfer. With this method, there’s no cash involved — you simply instruct your bank to send money to your recipient’s bank account. 

To complete a wire transfer through your bank, you usually must provide your recipient’s name, address, contact information, and banking information. This includes their international bank account number (IBAN) and their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. 

There are several drawbacks to using a bank transfer to send money to Argentina. For one, both you and your recipient need to have bank accounts at institutions that allow international transfers. 

For another, they’re typically expensive. Some banks charge as much as $50 for the convenience of an international wire transfer to the sender. And a few charge a fee to the recipient as well. In addition, your bank may limit the amount of money you can send through this method.

Money transfer agents: Traditional money transfer agents allow customers to send money abroad using cash. These agents usually have offices you can visit to fund the transfer with cash. Your recipient can then visit the transfer agent’s office closest to them and receive the money as cash. 

Of course, one of the main drawbacks of using this method for sending money is that your recipient must live near a transfer agent’s office. Another is the fact that these agents sometimes have complicated pricing structures, and fees and exchange rates can vary widely.

Money orders: Sending an international money order is similar to sending a check through the mail. You can buy a pre-paid money order certificate from your local post office or bank and then send it directly to your recipient via international mail. They can then redeem the certificate for cash.

There are several big disadvantages to this money-sending method, mainly that it’s expensive and slow.

How long it takes for your friends and family to receive money in Argentina depends on several factors, including your payment method, receiving method, country of origin, and payment time.  

For example, if you work with a traditional money transfer agent, you could be looking at a several-day transfer wait. Of course, it all depends on what agency, but some can take a few days. Another traditional option is an international money order. However, this method depends on mail, which can take several days to reach Argentina — if it reaches there at all.

A faster option is choosing Ria's money transfer services. Paying with a credit or debit card can take as little as 15 minutes while dropping off cash at a physical Ria location takes about one day. A standard bank transfer with Ria (either to a recipient bank account or as a cash pickup) can take 3-5 business days. 

To get started with a money transfer to Argentina:

1.Create an account using the Ria app  

2.Click the “Send” or “Send money” button.

3.Select “Argentina” from the list of countries.

Enter the amount of money you wish to transfer. Type how much money you wish to send in the “You send” field. You’ll then see the transfer rate and the amount of Argentinian pesos (ARS) your recipient will receive. 

Next, choose how you want to pay. You can fund the transfer through a bank account (which can take up to four business days) or with cash (which takes a day after funding) or choose the quicker option of using a credit or debit card (which takes minutes). 

Then, select how you want the recipient to receive the money. They can pick up cash from a local Ria network location, transfer it to their bank account, or receive it directly in a mobile wallet. Click “Continue” when you’re done.

The next step is to create a new Ria recipient. You must provide their first and last names as they appear on their government-issued ID. You’ll also need to enter their city and state. If you want to send the money to their bank account or mobile wallet, you’ll have to enter this information on the next screen. Or select a convenient Ria location near them for a cash pickup.

Finally, add a new payment method with your information, give the transfer one last check, and send your Argentina money transfer on its way!
