How to get paid in euros from Argentina: options for freelancers
If you work with clients in Europe, charging in euros may be a more natural option than asking for payment in dollars. For your client, it may be easier to pay in their usual currency, and for you it may help you better organize the collection according to the available method.
The comparison should not be made by looking only at the euro-peso or dollar-peso exchange rate.
It’s also worth looking at the total cost of the transaction: sending method, possible third-party fees, exchange rate, estimated times provided by the provider, and what you can do with those funds afterward.
If you want to review options from an app, you can download the belo app and check which features are available to receive payments from abroad.
Options for receiving euros in Argentina
To receive euros from Argentina, there are different alternatives.
Each one may have different costs, requirements, and timelines.
Option | What to review |
|---|---|
International bank transfer | Bank fees, possible intermediaries, required information, and processing times |
Payment platforms | Fees, currency conversion, and withdrawal conditions |
Digital solutions like belo | Available features, information to share, and current conditions |
There is no single best option for everyone. It depends on where your client is, how they want to pay, and what you need to do with the money afterward.
SEPA and SWIFT: what changes when receiving euros
When a European client wants to send you money, methods such as SEPA or SWIFT may come into play.
SWIFT: is usually used for international transfers between banks in different countries. It may involve more than one entity along the way, so it’s a good idea to check costs and timelines before choosing it.
SEPA: is a euro payment network used within Europe. It can be a more practical option when both the payer and the receiving account are enabled to operate with that network.
How to set up your account to receive euros
Before asking a European client to pay you, it’s worth checking which details you need to share and through which method you’ll receive the payment. In general, they may ask you for:
Detail | What it’s for |
|---|---|
Account holder name | Identify the person receiving the payment |
Account details | Indicate where to send the payment |
Bank code or identifier | Recognize the institution or payment network |
Currency | Confirm whether the payment will be in euros |
Payment reference | Link the payment to an invoice or service |
From belo, you can check in the app which options are available to receive international payments, what details you can share with your client, and what conditions apply to your account.
Euro-peso exchange rate: how much you really receive
Charging in euros does not always mean receiving more. What matters is how much is left available after considering costs, conversion, and later use of the money. Before deciding whether it’s better to charge in euros or dollars, review:
your client’s usual currency
available sending method
visible costs
possible third-party fees
exchange rate if you convert funds
options to use or transfer the money afterward
The currency may matter, but the collection method does too.
Tax reporting
Charging in euros from Argentina may have tax implications, just like any other income from abroad. To avoid mistakes, it’s a good idea to keep organized:
invoice or receipt issued
agreed currency
payment date
amount received
payment method
proof or records of the transaction
The correct way to record and report that income may depend on your tax situation. This content is for informational purposes and does not replace accounting or tax advice.
Conclusion
Charging in euros from Argentina can be a good option if you work with European clients, but it’s not a good idea to decide based on the currency alone. The payment method, costs, exchange rate, and how you’ll use those funds afterward also matter.
