FYI, I just made my 2nd Western Union transfer from my USA bank to my Arg Santander account. After the first transfer, which took 8 days they asked me to fill out a profile form with my DNI and other pertinent info. On Nov 27 2024 I made my second transfer and it said it would be deposited a...

What has happened in the past 24 hours? Do you have any good links to articles that you're referring too?

Thanks for clarifying the problem with the google app store and gmail accounts. I'll create a new one and specify Argentina, I created my google/gmail account a long time ago.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I have Personal phone service, but they don't have my credit card information, I pay them online through my Santander bank account. On my cell, when I try and download the Pago Facil app on my cell and it says it's not available in my country.

I tried to download the Pago Facil app and it says it's not available in my country?? WTF? I have an Argentina based phone number. I couldn't find it when I searched on the app in the Google play store on my phone, so I went to the https://www.pagofacil.com.ar/app on my computer and it...

Yes, I have the transfer go right to my Santander account, I agree I always felt uncomfortable going to an exchange house because everyone walking in and walking out has cash on them. We do have a guy who comes to the house, at first I didn't feel comfortable knowing they know where I live, but...

FYI, We needed some pesos so I checked Western Union and they were giving 1,154.0000 ARS but wanted to charge a $46.99 fee for $1,000 USA transfer or $60 fee for a $2,000 transfer. Factoring in the fees the rate was either 1102.21 or 1119.66 Remitly was 1074.54 xoom.com was 1,079.4131 ARS I...

Interesting. Our Chase account is in California and last time we asked they wouldn't send the card internationally. Maybe it varies by state or they made a policy change. Thanks for the tip!

If your account is with an Argentina Chase bank it makes sense you can get a card sent to your home in Argentina, but ours is with a Chase in the USA. I've heard that the same bank name in different countries isn't really the "same" bank, for international money laundering laws they are...

Thanks for the recommendation on MoneyGram, will check them out if my next WU transfer has a large fee! I just checked out MoneyGram.com and it looks like you have to go to a MoneyGram Agent location to do the transfer? You can't do this online? Or is it just that you have to go to the...

I was very happy with my Remitly exchange a month or so ago, I forget but I think they said it was 4-5 business days for the transfer. Maybe it depends on the bank, or maybe because they needed to verify something as it was only my 2nd transfer and my first transfer was 2 years ago. Maybe...

I have AmeriPrise, Schwab, CitiBank, Bank of America and Chase and none of them will ship a card outside of the USA. You're lucky your bank will do it.

Most credit cards companies won't send to a foreign address, so we have ours sent to a family member and then DHL'd here, comes right to the apartment as long as it's flat and only paper and the card, for package items that aren't flat you need to go to the DHL office for them to open for...

I thought of that since I'm on a joint account with my husband, make a new login under his name, but don't know how good their software is for checking such things. Also, looking for long term best options, even though we know in Argentina things change daily. Also mentioned on this forum...

FYI, I just made my first Western Union transfer of $1,000 USA to my ARG account today Oct 31, 2024, the rate was 1155.8300 (yesterday it was 1149). There was a $54.99 transfer fee but was waived to $0.00 I think because it was my first transfer. Before I made the deposit it said it would be...

I have no idea, maybe it's because it's my first transfer? It said there was a fee of $54.99 but it was 100% off. This is a USA bank to Argentina bank transfer, it said this was the cheapest way to send. Instead of using a credit card. I haven't tried it yet but plan to in the next few days...

I recently used Remitly.com and got a great rate but today they're only offering 1060 and western union is offering 1149 with a usa bank to Argentina bank transfer with no fee, seems pretty good.

I don't know about transferring into a digital wallet, but I just did a posting about transferring USD to an Argentina bank account (converted to ARG pesos) https://baexpats.org/threads/transferring-usd-to-ars-using-remitly-com.47960/ Don't know if this helps with a digital wallet, but it...

About 2 years ago I used Remitly.com to transfer a few hundred USA dollars just to see how it worked in case of an emergency where I needed to transfer some money from my USA based bank to Argentina. The first time I used it I had to give them a scan of my DNI but then it worked easily. I also...

Thank you so much!
