To send money to Argentina with MAJORITY, open the app, pick Argentina, enter your recipient's CBU or alias, review the rate, and confirm in Argentine pesos.
Quick answer
The full process runs through a single delivery method: bank transfer. Open a MAJORITY account with a government-issued ID, open the app, choose Argentina as the destination, enter your recipient's CBU (Clave Bancaria Uniforme, a 22-digit Argentine interbank account code) or their CBU alias along with their full name and bank, enter the USD amount, review the exchange rate and the Argentine peso (ARS) total visible in the app at that moment, then confirm. Transfers to Argentina take 30 minutes to 5 business days depending on the receiving bank and transfer timing. Because Argentina has active foreign-exchange regulations, check the in-app rate and estimated delivery before each send.
What you need to know
- Argentina is a bank-transfer-only destination. MAJORITY does not currently support mobile wallet or cash pickup for Argentina.
- Before you send, your recipient needs to give you their CBU (22 digits) or their CBU alias, their full name as it appears on their bank account, and their bank name.
- The exchange rate and the estimated Argentine peso (ARS) amount the recipient will receive are shown in the app before you confirm the transfer. Argentina has foreign-exchange regulations that can affect the rate; always check the in-app rate at confirmation.
- Bank transfers to Argentina take 30 minutes to 5 business days. Timing depends on the receiving bank and when the transfer is initiated.
- The membership is $6.99 per month and includes transfers to Argentina at no per-transfer fee, included with your membership.
- MAJORITY supports money transfers to more than 30 countries, and Argentina is one of those destinations.
Step 1: Open a MAJORITY account
Download the MAJORITY app from the App Store or Google Play. You can open an account with a valid government-issued photo ID. Once your account is open and funded, Argentina is available as a destination in the transfer flow.
Step 2: Open the app and start a transfer
Open the app and tap Send money. The transfer flow walks you through selecting the destination country, entering recipient details, choosing the amount, and reviewing the rate before you confirm.
Argentina transfers are initiated entirely within the app. There is no additional setup or enrollment required for the Argentina destination beyond having an active MAJORITY membership.
Step 3: Choose Argentina and gather what you need from your recipient
Select Argentina as the destination. Because Argentina is a bank-transfer-only destination, the app will prompt you for your recipient's bank account details. Before you reach this step, make sure your recipient has provided:
| Detail | Notes |
|---|---|
| CBU (Clave Bancaria Uniforme) | 22-digit code that identifies their specific account at their bank |
| CBU alias | A shorter text string the recipient may have set up as a shortcut for their CBU |
| Full name on the bank account | Must match the name registered with the receiving bank |
| Bank name | One of the supported Argentine banks listed in the app |
Either the 22-digit CBU or the alias works to route the transfer. If you have both, the CBU is the more reliable identifier. Confirm the details with your recipient before sending — a name mismatch or an incorrect CBU is the most common cause of a held or returned transfer.
Step 4: Select the receiving bank
Supported Argentine banks that appear in the transfer flow include:
- Banco de La Nación Argentina
- Santander Río
- Banco Provincia
- HSBC Argentina
- Banco Macro
- BBVA Banco Francés
The full current list of supported banks appears in the app when you add the recipient. Choose the bank that matches your recipient's CBU.
Step 5: Enter the amount, review the rate, and send
- Enter the USD amount you want to send.
- Review the exchange rate. The app shows the rate at the moment you are confirming, along with the estimated Argentine peso (ARS) total the recipient will receive. Argentina's foreign-exchange regulations mean rates can shift; the number on the confirmation screen is the one that applies to your transfer.
- Check the estimated delivery time shown for this transfer. Bank transfers to Argentina take 30 minutes to 5 business days.
- Review the recipient details on the summary screen. Confirm the CBU or alias, name, and bank are correct before proceeding.
- Authenticate with your PIN or biometrics and confirm the transfer.
- Track the transfer in the activity screen. You will receive a notification when the transfer is sent and another when it reaches the recipient.
If anything on the summary screen looks off, tap back and correct it. An incorrect CBU or mismatched account name can take several business days to resolve after a transfer is returned.
What it costs to send money to Argentina
There are two cost components: the membership and the exchange rate.
- The membership is $6.99 per month. It includes transfers to Argentina at no per-transfer fee — the transfer is included with your membership.
- The exchange rate is the one shown in the app at the moment you confirm the transfer. Because Argentina has active foreign-exchange controls, the in-app rate is the authoritative number for each send. The estimated ARS total appears before you confirm, so you can decide based on what your recipient will actually receive.
The receiving Argentine bank may apply its own policies on incoming international transfers. Check with your recipient's bank if you have questions about local handling.
What to do next
- Download the app and open a MAJORITY account with a valid government-issued ID.
- Ask your recipient to share their CBU (22 digits) or CBU alias, their full name as it appears on their bank account, and their bank name.
- Open the app, tap Send money, select Argentina, and enter the recipient's details.
- Enter the USD amount, review the exchange rate and ARS total in the app, confirm, and track the transfer in the activity screen.
