    Redpossum has gone

    I met with him regularly when I lived in Argentina, such a fun companionship and wonderful point of views on life and its intricacies! It pains me that I had to open a thread to find out where and how he was :(, it chokes me to have to think about pinging him on WhatsApp without getting some...

    Western Union money transfer

    What I do use in France is my Argentinian set of debit and credit cards , so far I have used Brubank, Banco Nación, Banco Ciudad, HSBC and Banco Provincia. They all work in Europe and they charge 75% (RG 45% and PAIS 30%) but still the exchange rate remains a solid 10-12% less than the dollar blue

    Western Union money transfer

    Sorry I didn’t specify, I’m paying with a MasterCard issued in Europe. You can also try using an American card, I just haven’t tried this step yet. I try not to change the method of payment in WU, it’s always a flag for security issues.

    If this doesn't work, check out Curve.app (referral link: https://www.curve.com/join#NMZKL59E). I've been paying all of my WU transfers with the curve card (it works like a debit frontend) and it has avoided me lots of money. I have used Bank of America, Chase, and another 2 French Bank cards...

    Why would anyone come to this country in this century?

    Couldn't have said it better, I spent 5 years and just recently left to settle in Europe and I couldn't agree more that you are not aware of the problems until you live there and then it's just damn hard to leave because of those same problems, kind of a paradox
