Spanish term

comprobante de operaciones de arbitraje

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Hi guys!
This is just a bank receipt. My client had to purchase dollars to pay for a course at a U.S. college.
The Bank issued one receipt called "Comprobante de operaciones de cambio" and this one, all for the same transaction - they are almost identical.
Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Proof of Currency Arbitrage (unless the source term really just means Proof of Exchange Rate which I cannot completely exclude, currently, in light of doubts cast on a scenario where the bank informs regular people buying a few hundred bucks about complicated background activity for procuring $ feven though it is the other one, the Proof of Currency Exchange Transaction, that APPEARS to provide the customer with the respective exchange rate details). I am somehow not happy with trades even though it is technically speaking not wrong. The bank will never let every Tom, Dick and Harry into the fine workings of their operations in the financial markets so please do not use trades. It is also a bit off stylistically as it has a slightly rough and electronic age type of ring to it rather than one of proper operations at a traditional bank counter with a bank clerk dressed "double plaidinum" style https://www.amazon.com/Double-Plaidinum-Lagwagon/dp/B005STGI... Transactions, in turn, seems almost a bit "over-implied" given that it makes the English expression become pretty long and all financial market arbitrage is always based on the individual transactions constituting it.

proof of arbitrage dealings (transactions)

This process is called arbitrage and not arbitration.

I've added transactions in brackets, just in case anyone tries again to lift and reword my answer.

agree philgoddard : I do think receipt/voucher is a slight improvement, but it doesn't merit a separate answer.

Agreed, but Allegro could equally argue that it is I who have cribbed his original ProZ answer.
