This means that if you exchange one hundred € to Argentine Pesos, in addition to an exchange margin, you will have to pay a fixed commission of of 6 to 10 euros, since it is a higher quantity than the 3 euros commission that would correspond to applying 3% to 100 euros. If you exchange six hundred euros to Argentine Pesos, they would impose a 3% commission. That is 18 euros which is higher than the minimum of between 6 and 10 euros.
