Thanks, I know about international transfers. I can live with the usual few days for a transfer but not with a simple vague "you must wait". Yes, I will lose a lot of buying power, but I need the money desperately here in Mexico, not in Argentina. In any case, since I am not presently in...

The bank admits there is no problem with the transfer. However, for weeks we could not find any trace of BBVA/Banco Frances having received the money, which they received in ARS in June (Sorry if I gave a confusing explanation about all that previously.) My account is in ARS. In mid July, after...

Another odd thing about my attempted money transfer to BBVA / Banco Frances is that at the Buenos Aires end, the transfer was invisible to me. The bank didn`t notify me, the ATM didn`t show any sign of it. It took numerous phone calls to BBVA/ Banco Frances before a clerk admitted the money was...

This is so strange ! Everything is in English now except my responses from earlier tonight. I did not adjust anything. I have never used automatic translate on my computer and all other sites I went to were in their normal language. Maybe there`s an automatic translate option for this site ...

Estoy siendo duramente golpeado por la demora de los bancos. Envié la transferencia en dólares estadounidenses, en junio, pero el banco la recibió en ARS. Actualmente estoy en México, donde la moneda se ha fortalecido frente a los $ US. Quizás BBVA / Banco Francés están prestando mi dinero a una...

Thank you for your kind advice ! I will take that very seriously !

Thanks so much for your links and ideas ! Some one in Buenos Aires is dealing with this on my behalf and I will make sure he knows about your info !

BBVA/Banco Frances

Does anyone know of an ethics board or some way to pressure a bank to release a client`s funds ? To make a long story short, I wire transferred money to my own account at a major Argentine bank in June. There was nothing wrong with the transfer itself. The bank has not yet deposited my...

I have used TransferWise several times and am very happy ! Thanks BA Expats for letting me know about it ! I only had to email them a copy of my ID. Sometimes I have to phone my Canadian bank for them to allow me to pay for the transaction, using my Canadian debit card, but that`s no big deal...

I have watched some YouTube videos on TransferWise. Some posts rave about it. Some say the money they sent never arrived. TransferWise replied by posting a link directing people to scroll down and phone some numbers - but there are no numbers. I also got the impression online that TransferWise...

I`ve never agreed that war is good for the economy. It puts the country in debt and there`s usually nothing to show for it at the end. It would be better if money was spent on needed infrastructure, rather than war.

A property manager told me the market is polarized now. If a property has want people want, they`ll pay a lot for it. If it isn`t quite what they want, he says people won`t buy it at any price. Within a block, on the same side of Marcelo T. de Alvear, is a new building, with all the bells and...

Thanks so much for telling me about Transfer Wise ! It looks like a good way to send money ! I wonder, though, if my Argentine bank would deposit money from Transfer Wise into my account if it doesn`t want to deposit money from my Mexican bank account ?

I agree that this makes it hard to do legal business here and I assume this is also harming the Argentine peso.

Does anyone know why Argentina makes it hard, to say the least, for non-residents to transfer money into their Argentine bank accounts ? I no longer live in Argentina but still have rental properties there. Especially as the money is arriving in US$, I would have thought Argentina would want...

Also, I doubt you`d want to live in Caracas now. It`s one of the most dangerous cities in the world. It`s also a pain to get basic commodities - if they can be obtained at all. That`s why so many Venezuelans are fleeing.

Thank you for that info !

My trial has been completed after 15 years. Much of that delay was due to my first lawyer being bought off. Also, the suit was against very wealthy people who seem to be better able to abuse the "justice" system. Despite the court recently asking for information from an engineer`s report...

Several newspapers were at least addressing the problem of the crisis in the Argentinian "justice system". Let`s hope that`s a start ! Here is a news item (in Spanish): https://www.lanacion.com.ar/2120532-la-gran-crisis-de-la-justicia-argentina
