    Official rate higher than Blue

    You can only change up to $100 at the bank in cash at the official rate. The rest has to be via home banking. Very libertarian

    Wise Card

    It’s like a normal card. Most of the time works with Rappi, Mercado Libre etc, “most” being the keyword. Rate is the normal card rate OR you can convert to pesos at the official rate through the app, which probably works out the same.

    Citizenship requirements

    This last point is horrendous. And under what logic? My other half and I been has been legal residents since 2016, with permanent residency since 2019, now can’t apply to be citizens as we’ve been on holiday abroad in the last 2 years… …because we’re honest, hardworking people and earn enough...

    Fees for buying a house

    Hi! I wanted to see if anyone knows most up-to-date fees one could expect to pay on the purchase of a property in CABA. I guess it’s all based on a % of the sale price. I’ve looked on Google and the forum etc, but as everything changes so often in Argentina that it would be good to get...

    U.S. to make hundreds of millions on Milei win

    I thought the whole idea of maintaining the exchange rate low was to get through the mid-term elections. Which they now have. Surely; they need to take advantage of this time now to do the painful deed of competely liberating the exchange rate - and allowing for a true flotation for all sectors...

    U.S. to make hundreds of millions on Milei win

    Yep...it's now back at 1500, I am regretting transferring myself £500 (US$666 ) yesterday via WU. Witht the fees, it worked out to be a rate of $1534. Will use it to pay my rent quick. Who knows, they make take advantage of the election to do a quick devaluatory correction of the exchange rate.

    Western Union money transfer

    Hello, yesterday I used WU for the first time in over a year to take advantage of the out-of-date rate (still 1550 while everywhere else was 1450). I sent it to my pagofacil wallet, so it should arrive instantly, but it still hasn't - has this happened to anyone before?

    U.S. to make hundreds of millions on Milei win

    It’ll go back up before long. Already has rebounded today, the dollar crypto that I use has recouped 5% from the 10% loss yesterday.

    The Friday before Sunday

    Yeah they definitely can’t sell. The peso would sink. That said, they had been telling Milei to let the peso float and maybe now is the time to do it.

    Midterm election results

    I just did a WU transfer as still had 1550. I did 2 transfers. The first one went through no problem, the second one is “in process”, I hope they don’t cancel it.

    Midterm election results

    It just opened, at 10am, the official is at 1380, so I feel that’s the new piso. Reasonable.

    Midterm election results

    I don’t see the dollar going down much, maybe 10% which is what Caputo said last week, and what the dollar crypto dropped last night. 1400-1500 is reasonable. Will things get really expensive again? Lets hope not, inflation is under control and Caputo said he was comfortable with the rate at...

    The Friday before Sunday

    The official has been around the 1450-1500 mark for a good month now. It only went down a few times with the news of US intervention, which didn’t last long before it went back to the 1450-1500 mark. If Milei wins, WU, the blue etc may go down to 1450 as a floor. But I don't see it...

    Prepaid Debit Card for Tourists?

    Search Wander Wallet. I have downloaded it but not used it yeti, but I used a similar app a few years ago and worked well. It basically works using crypto and local QR payments which are VERY mainstream here - nearly everywhere accepts QR. Plus the “dólar crypto” is consistently one of the...
