Thank you @SlowWalker for the information. I will see how much I may get at the end, after two conversions.

@SlowWalker Could you explain the process in more detail? I recently opened an account with Balanz, but my advisor told me: So if I understand correctly, this would actually use the MEP rate, not CCL. If I want to use the true CCL mechanism, wouldn't I need Balanz to provide their...

The exact same thing happened to me – my account was suspended right after my first transfer attempt. In my case, I managed to get it resolved through their support chat. They told me the automated flag was triggered because I used a virtual mobile phone number. Once they cleared that up, they...

Taptap Send review: Better rates than Western Union for Argentina (+ Bonus Code) Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick review of a money transfer service I tried today called Taptap Send (https://www.taptapsend.com/). I usually look for the best exchange rates, and this time it actually beat...

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...
