Collect and pay in Argentina, in minutes.
The corridor runs both ways: you collect from your Argentine customer over the local instant transfer and settle at home, or you pay your supplier in Argentina. The rate is set by the desk and locked before you confirm. No named account on this corridor.
Argentina is the corridor where traditional FX gets in the way the most.
Between currency controls, a rate that changes name depending on the day and banks that simply will not process, moving money between Brazil and Argentina became an operational problem before a financial one. Those invoicing there wait weeks; those paying suppliers there learn the real cost afterwards.
Local rails on both ends, rate on screen.
The operation runs both ways: you collect from your Argentine customer over the local instant transfer and settle at home, or you pay your supplier in Argentina from home. The rate is locked before you confirm. This corridor does not issue a named account — it moves the money, in minutes.
The operation, step by step.
Tell us the operation
Volume, direction and recurrence go into the assessment. The desk confirms the corridor and the rate of the day.
The local rail on each end
Instant transfer in Argentina, PIX in Brazil. Neither depends on a correspondent bank.
Rate locked
You see the number before confirming. What you see is what gets executed.
Settlement in minutes
Both rails settle in minutes, 24/7 — no banking window along the way.
It all runs on its own.
No ticket to open, no email to the desk, nobody processing anything on the other side. The money arrives through the local rail, conversion runs automatically at the rate you locked on screen, and it leaves through the local rail at the destination. The desk is there for high volume and for exceptions — not for the everyday.
Minutes, not business days.
This corridor uses the local rail at each end — Instant transfer (CBU/CVU) on one side, PIX on the other. Both settle in minutes and run 24 hours a day, weekends and either country’s holidays included. Nothing here waits for a banking window to open: the timing is the rail’s, not the bank’s opening hours.
Pay and get paid in minutes, over the local rail.
This corridor runs both ways — you collect from your customer and pay your supplier over the country’s domestic rail, with the rate locked on screen before you confirm. There is one difference from Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom: there is no named account here, so the receipt does not carry your company’s name.
Both directions
Collecting from a customer and paying a supplier use the same corridor. The direction changes; the rail and the timing do not.
Minutes, not days
The country’s local rail settles in minutes, 24/7, like the rest of the network. No banking window in the middle.
No account in your name
We do not issue a named account on this corridor. If your case requires the payer to see your company name on the destination account, the right corridor is euro, dollar or pound.

What changes in your operation.
The difference on every remittance.
| Traditional FX | With Lexxen | |
|---|---|---|
| Timing | Weeks, when it goes through | Minutes, 24/7 |
| Rate | Depends on the day and the intermediary | Commercial on screen, locked before you confirm |
| Cost | Spread and fees known afterwards | Explicit 1.5% fee, negotiable by volume |
| Direction | Each direction is a different process at the bank | One corridor for collecting and for paying |
What that is worth by the end of the year.
Compare total cost, not the quoted rate alone. The difference shows up in the sum of spread, tax and fees.
| Traditional bank | With Lexxen | |
|---|---|---|
| Spread on the rate | 3% to 4%, baked into the quote | 0% — the rate is the commercial one |
| FX tax (IOF, Brazil) | 0.38% per transfer | Does not apply |
| Transfer and intermediary bank fees | R$100 to R$250 per operation, plus USD 15 to 40 along the way | None |
| Processing fee | — | 1.5%, negotiable by volume |
| Timing | 1 to 3 business days | Minutes, 24/7 |
With a 3.5% spread and 0.38% tax, the traditional path costs around R$38,800 a year before fixed fees. On the same volume, Lexxen’s 1.5% comes to R$15,000. That is roughly R$23,800 left in the company — and above R$30,000 once per-transfer and intermediary bank fees are counted.
Calculated on the assumptions above, for comparison. Your own number depends on the spread your bank charges today, your average ticket and how many transfers you make.

Does your company work with Argentina and is tired of waiting on the bank?
Tell us the volume, the direction and the recurrence. The desk designs the corridor and returns the rate and the timing in writing.
Either way you fill in the same form: it is how the desk arrives already knowing your corridor, volume and timing.
