I just wanted to know from others which experiences they have with different providers to send money to Argentina, no matter if it makes sense to you or not. Anyway I will explain. As I mentioned before, for some countries WU has special offers where sending money to a PagoFacil waltet costs...

As my Pago Facil account is still blocked I had to look out for alternative services, tl;dr for me the rates are not as good as sending WU to PagoFacil. found that xoom.com has a good exchange rate and if you get one of the remitly promo rates (sometimes it's limited to certain amount) then the...

A while ago I was recommending transferring money from WU to a virtual PagoFacil wallet. This worked fine for me for one year (23 tranfers). Lately I had to pay my taxes in Argentina and had to transfer more than the usual amount. A week ago I got a mail from [email protected] asking for KYC...

Are you still using WU to transfer from foreign countries to Argentina or did anybody find better alternatives? For people with a MACRO banc account there might be one alternative, transfer USD directly as they won't charge commission...

Uh, se va a desplomar el cambio de WU tb, Por lo menos a corto plazo.

You may try the PagoFacil App. Although you do not get reduced fees, it might be worth using it. Money arrived instantly for all my 3 transfers I have done. From the app you can transfer the money to your bank account, or leave it there where yo get some interests (around 35% p.a.). You can...

Up to now I had 3 transfers with reduced fees using the pago facil app, but it seems to depend on the region from where you send money. Apparently it does not work for US. By the way, the Pago Fácil app currently offers an interest rate of around 35% per year. In the past, it wasn't worth it...

FWIW: The fee for recently added transfer to pago facil wallet is currently significantly lower than cash pickup or bank transfer, also for lager amounts. Creating the wallet is very easy and seems worth the time. The transfer is also much faster, within hours or even minutes, I did it just once...

This promo code may give a 15 USD discount US => AR, at least it showed the discount for the US, but did not work for EUR regions: L2654 I was playing around and found that different EUR countries have different fees. For example from Austria it costs 17.90 EUR to send 300 EUR...

I got also 100% discount on fees (on both, cash and deposit).

On Friday I sent money for cash pickup, but as the WU branch I went did not have enough cash I had to wait until today. Exchange on Friday was 1 USD : 779 ARS. This morning it was 1:758 (20 ARS less per USD), but on payout they gave me 779 ARS 🥳. I wonder if that was always that way, that WU...

It seems the transfer fees went up for countries in Europe. Maybe WU thinks it helps on their market rate, which is not looking good for the past 2 years. Anyway it helps to play a bit with the numbers. For Example sending 500 EUR would currently cost 25 EUR but 500.01 EUR just 17.50 EUR. Maybe...

Also keep in mind the Agreements related to OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) y FATCA. ambito.com: Cuentas sin declarar en EEUU: entró en vigencia el acuerdo de intercambio de información.

Using foreign credit or debit card in Argentina should give an exchange rate similar to USD MEP. But I haven't heard any positive feedback until now, only complains that is still official exchange rate, see for example...
