    Western Union money transfer

    I don't get to BsAs until a week from today. I'm wondering if I should transfer some money to myself now just in case WU glitches for good. I've been checking WU rates for the past 2 weeks and it's fluctuated from 81ish to 84ish. Unless shit hits the fan, don't see any huge climb in rates...

    Western Union money transfer

    Just checked the app, and WU does not allow the pay cash in-store option, wth! I tried to click on it a few times, but it says that method is currently unavailable. I can still transfer online through debit or credit card, but of course that comes with heftier fees. The more you send, the...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    I'm a Chinese-American-Panamanian (full-blooded Chinese, born in Panama, raised in California). I'll be heading to Buenos Aires next week for the first time.

    Western Union money transfer

    Thanks, that’s the main issue for me since I plan to make large withdrawals to save on multiple transaction fees and get it done in one trip. Thanks again for the WU location and info. I’m so tempted to transfer the money now since I don’t know how long this rate would last, but then it’s been...

    Western Union money transfer

    Thanks for the advice! Yes, I plan to have at least a few new and crisp $100 dollar bills to exchange just in case there's any issues with my WU transfer. I've done WU transfers before to other countries, so I'm not new to their system. But first time to see WU rates so much higher than...

    Western Union money transfer

    New to the forum and will be going to Buenos Aires for the first time in 2 weeks. I currently live in California and my plan is to WU myself money here and pay it in cash, then pick up the money when I arrive in BA. That would give me the best rate as of right now it is 1 to 83.9! I plan to...
