    Western Union money transfer

    What I do use in France is my Argentinian set of debit and credit cards , so far I have used Brubank, Banco Nación, Banco Ciudad, HSBC and Banco Provincia. They all work in Europe and they charge 75% (RG 45% and PAIS 30%) but still the exchange rate remains a solid 10-12% less than the dollar blue

    Western Union money transfer

    Sorry I didn’t specify, I’m paying with a MasterCard issued in Europe. You can also try using an American card, I just haven’t tried this step yet. I try not to change the method of payment in WU, it’s always a flag for security issues.

    If this doesn't work, check out Curve.app (referral link: https://www.curve.com/join#NMZKL59E). I've been paying all of my WU transfers with the curve card (it works like a debit frontend) and it has avoided me lots of money. I have used Bank of America, Chase, and another 2 French Bank cards...

    Western Union money transfer

    I've been using a French WU for the past few months (I moved to France recently) and keep using my Arg. cards to leverage the "dólar tarjeta"; so far, I have been paying 1,90€ per transfer, this month I tried sending 1000€, and still the fee was 1,90€ Maybe it's worth the shot for the Americans...

  13. Q

    Why would anyone come to this country in this century?

    Couldn't have said it better, I spent 5 years and just recently left to settle in Europe and I couldn't agree more that you are not aware of the problems until you live there and then it's just damn hard to leave because of those same problems, kind of a paradox
