    Advice on bringing in declared income from the US?

    Hey all, I earn in the US and have been sending myself money via western union from my US bank account to my argentinean bank account for years, but I received a notice this week from my bank that things have changed with AFIP and if I do not have any earnings declared with AFIP, I can only...

    Western Union money transfer

    However I dont think the MEP is the actual rate your credit card gives you. Last week the MEP was around 850 but my visa card gave me just under 800.

    Western Union money transfer

    On a side note, I had a few good transactions with WU where I got my money same day or the next day (US bank account to arg bank account transfer) and my last two transfers have taken an entire week to arrive :( Anyone else experiencing this lately?

    Western Union money transfer

    THANK YOU for this. I have been searching for years for a way to be able to access the US and argentinean play stores since you can only change countries once a year and just tried this out and it appears to work!!!!!

    Western Union money transfer

    Just wanted to confirm that I did two WU bank to bank transfers recently, sent one Friday around noon and another on Monday morning, and I received both in my bank account Monday EOD. I had never received same day WU bank to bank previously so that's a plus now that Moneygram seems to be a no-go .

    Money transfer issue anyone?

    Thanks, thats good to hear. Hopefully my WU will go through on Monday or Tuesday. And if so I guess Ill just have to start planning ahead a bit more since I cant get my same-day Moneygrams anymore ;( WU is giving a better rate lately even when factoring in the fee but I still preferred moneygram...

    Moneygram transfer

    Unfortunately Ive tried talking to about 5 people and they all tell me that I can never use the online service again , but cannot tell me why my transaction was flagged as suspicious. I was never asked for ID when I signed up or sent the transaction and offered to provide whatever they needed...

    Western Union money transfer

    I checked with Wise support and they told me that my account was with People's Trust (I dont know if all wise accounts are with this bank), however that's not one of the options when I try to link a bank account with western union, in which case Wise told me that I could not directly link my CA...

    Western Union money transfer

    Im trying to set this up to link my CA wise account to western union, but WU is making me choose a bank, and Wise is not one of the banks that I can select. Do you know how to get around this? Do I need to order a Wise ATM card and use that info?

    Moneygram transfer

    I tried talking to several chat agents and they all just said my account was closed for security reasons and there was nothing they could do about it :( I asked if I could manually verify my account and they said no ... I guess you got lucky!

    Moneygram transfer

    Thanks! Maybe I will try again. I had already tried via chat and calling on the phone, and they both told me that my account was flagged but they didnt know why and couldnt tell me. But worth trying again to see if someone else gives me a different answer .

    Moneygram transfer

    I do, I signed up with my US address and bank info. I was able to create the account without issues but I think where i messed up is that I was logged into a VPN when I tried to do the transfer and now am seriously regretting it :( :(

    Moneygram transfer

    I created an account and when I went to send my first transfer via debit card, my account was immediately "permanently closed". I called customer service and they said there was nothing they could do, and that I could only do in person cash transfers, and they were unable to tell my why my...

    Sorry for all the questions - just want to do this right the first time -- is it OK that I get the DC state apostille for all the other documents even though the documents were all obtained in Michigan ?
