Buying in Argentina — Pay from Overseas by USD Bank Transfer: Clear Timing & Proof

Quick answer

Keep the closing predictable: agree one settlement currency (often USD), send to a verified account via SWIFT, keep the reference short and submit earlier in the day. Decide where conversion (if any) happens and write down the net amount on account expected on the closing statement.

Decisions to make before you send

Currency. Many property statements in Argentina reference USD. If your funds start in EUR/another currency, compare pre-conversion vs conversion on arrival and pick the option that guarantees the net figure on the seller’s statement.

Where the money lands. Depending on the arrangement, funds may credit a seller’s account or a controlled account held by a legal professional. Keep wording in messages consistent with the statement so credits match quickly.

Timing. Morning submissions and early-week scheduling reduce back-and-forth. Plan around bank cut-offs and public holidays at both ends.

Five practical ways to fund a closing

1) Clean USD wire to the designated account. Default choice when totals are in USD. Predictable posting; simple reconciliation with a short, exact purpose line.

2) EUR→USD with pre-conversion. Convert part or all at a transparent rate, then send USD to lock the outcome. Useful when dates and amounts are fixed.

3) One inbound → domestic allocations. If the statement lists several items (seller, taxes, fees), a single inbound payment can be allocated domestically the same day according to instructions.

4) Stage-by-stage funding. New-builds and milestone deals work best with separate transfers per stage; each uses an exact reference that mirrors the schedule.

5) Time-critical closings. Submit early, avoid last-minute edges, and share standard proof in the same thread. These habits compress the time from “sent” to “confirmed”.

Costs & FX — keep it practical

Your all-in cost equals fees + FX. For USD→USD, fees dominate. If a conversion is needed, the FX rate is the main lever. Decide who bears charges and where conversion happens. Note the expected net USD on the statement to avoid top-ups later.

Documents & compliance (plain English)

Have a small pack ready: your ID; proof of address; the purchase agreement or reservation; and, for larger transfers, source-of-funds evidence appropriate to the origin (salary, dividends, asset sale). Keeping everything in one thread speeds reviews and avoids follow-ups.

Timing & predictable posting

Cut-offs vary by bank and corridor. End-of-day wires often value the next business day, especially near holidays. If handover depends on your payment, submit earlier than the final hour and keep subject lines consistent so the receiving team can match your proof quickly.

Safety & verification — plain English

Confirm bank details through a trusted channel before paying. Do not rely on forwarded screenshots. Use the exact beneficiary name, bank name and SWIFT/BIC. After sending, attach the standard receipt in the same email thread and ask for a brief confirmation.

Scenarios you can reuse

Resale with a single statement. One clean USD payment, short reference and proof shared immediately; ask for a short receipt note.

New build with milestones. Separate transfers per stage with exact references. Align any conversions with stage dates.

Paying from the EU/UK/US. Pre-convert for certainty or document a clear all-in route; keep documents and confirmations in one thread for easy checks.

One-page checklist

1) One settlement currency (often USD). 2) Verified beneficiary details and SWIFT. 3) Short, exact reference. 4) Plan fees and any conversion; confirm net USD. 5) Send early; share proof; store confirmations together.
