I got an - unhelpful - reply back from BCRA, telling me that No link to the Registro or any information which entities might or might not be registered. I can't find a listing using Google or Bing. So I again asked TransferWise if they were one such registered company. This is their reply: So...

I've asked TransferWise via Twitter whether their transfers would comply with the new regulations here. This is their response: I have a hunch, though, that the person who answered the question was not aware of the new regulations and responded out of the conviction that they always comply...

With BCRA releasing some of the pressure (see above) you might want to check another issue which I was made aware of by my accountant. Since earlier this year, all those that were not registered as PyME (with certificate and everything) might have incurred costs at Afip/Aduana for exportation...

Thanks Silvie for another confirmation of my experience. Thanks also Ceviche, would you care to inform which credit card company you're using? If you were using MasterCard or American Express that might be a hint at where the problem is...

Thanks, Matthew, for your account and for confirming that it's not just me. As a resident I do have a local account and credit card as well, but since this account is hardly ever funded I try to avoid using the card. As I mentioned above I have tried bringing my issues up with Visa Argentina...

Hi all, I know this has been a topic of debate before but I'm having increased trouble with my German credit cards and was wondering if any of you can report similar problems. Particularly, my credit cards were refused at Plan Ovalo, when trying to enter a savings plan to buy a new car (by...
