Transferwise does £ to pesos, to where. As stated, bank accounts in the country do not have a SWIFT code assigned.
You have to triangulate the money (Please check my other comments below).
Re: Kraken, the 2% I'm talking about is in the local broker I'm using to convert BTC to pesos. I doubt Kraken can help me there. Not to mention that that Kraken is an exchange. A completelly different bussiness model to Localbitcoins.
I'm not sure you need a swift code, probably just a bank account number/sort code.

I have not tried Argentina as I have no business there but have sent money to Indonesia which is another tricky place and it worked fine. Fair enough re Kraken - they do GBP to BTC, not BTC to pesos.
Dude.
Each country has their own way to sort stuff internally.
For instance "sort code" is not something you find in countries like Spain (I have a bank account there; sort code is something found in the UK).
Nor are they found in this country. Here, we have what it's called CBU (Uniform bank key).
Again, when you go to a bank branch, _IF_ there's any relation between your bank account and a SWIFT account, they never tell you that information
And, considering that even in the cases you agree to do the transfer, you do not do that to a bank account in the SWIFT system that belongs to the branch but to a bank account in another country, I doubt we are integrated.
By the way if you are buying BTC, Kraken is much cheaper than 2% (more like 0.2%) and I think they take GBP.
It does sound like the banks are iffy.
