A child studying abroad, a family member who settled in another country, an emergency that pops up out of the blue.

These are different reasons, but the problem is the same: money needs to be sent from Argentina abroad, and it is not always clear which path is best to take.

Here the focus is on you, the sender: what options you have today and what points are worth looking at before confirming any shipment.

Download the belo app and check what options you have available to send money abroad according to your account and current conditions.

What options exist to send money abroad

Today, someone in Argentina who wants to send money abroad has, broadly speaking, three options:

Traditional bank transfer. It goes through the sending bank and, if the destination is international, through correspondent banks. It usually requires more documentation and may have limits depending on the account profile.

Agencies or exchange houses specializing in remittances. They simplify the process for those who do not have much experience with international transfers, although they still depend on business hours and the availability of the pickup point at the destination.

Digital wallets with support for cryptocurrencies or stablecoins. They allow sending the equivalent in USDT or USDC directly to another wallet, without going through the correspondent bank chain, although the receiver needs to have a compatible account.

What information do you need to have before sending

Before sending any amount, it is convenient to have at hand:

• The complete recipient information (name, account or wallet, and in some cases ID).

• The reason for the shipment, because some platforms request it as part of the validation.

• Clarity on how much the other person needs to receive at destination, not just how much you are going to send.

• The operating limits of your account, which may vary depending on the verification level.

Common mistakes when sending money abroad

Some mistakes are frequently repeated and are easy to avoid if checked in time:

• Confirming the shipment without checking if the recipient already has the account or wallet ready to receive it.

• Not checking the exchange rate applied at the exact moment of the transaction, which may differ from the one seen elsewhere.

• Sending to an incorrect address or account in a rush, a mistake that in cryptocurrencies can be impossible to reverse.

• Not saving the receipt of the transaction, which is key if a claim needs to be made later.

Before confirming any transfer, it is advisable to check the international shipping options available according to your account and destination.

Frequently asked questions about sending money to relatives abroad from Argentina

Do I need the other person to have an account in the same app as me?

Not always. If the destination is a bank account, the details of that account are sufficient. If the shipment is in cryptocurrencies, the other person does need a wallet compatible with the chosen network and currency.

Is there a minimum or maximum amount to send?

The limits depend on the type of account, the verification level, and the destination of the transfer. Before operating, it is advisable to check the current limits within the app.

What happens if I make a mistake when entering the recipient's details?

In bank transfers, there is usually some margin to correct or claim depending on the bank. In cryptocurrencies, once the transaction is confirmed on the network, it generally cannot be reversed, which is why it is advisable to double-check every detail before confirming.
