You may try the PagoFacil App. Although you do not get reduced fees, it might be worth using it. Money arrived instantly for all my 3 transfers I have done. From the app you can transfer the money to your bank account, or leave it there where yo get some interests (around 35% p.a.). You can...

Up to now I had 3 transfers with reduced fees using the pago facil app, but it seems to depend on the region from where you send money. Apparently it does not work for US. By the way, the Pago Fácil app currently offers an interest rate of around 35% per year. In the past, it wasn't worth it...

FWIW: The fee for recently added transfer to pago facil wallet is currently significantly lower than cash pickup or bank transfer, also for lager amounts. Creating the wallet is very easy and seems worth the time. The transfer is also much faster, within hours or even minutes, I did it just once...

This promo code may give a 15 USD discount US => AR, at least it showed the discount for the US, but did not work for EUR regions: L2654 I was playing around and found that different EUR countries have different fees. For example from Austria it costs 17.90 EUR to send 300 EUR...

I got also 100% discount on fees (on both, cash and deposit).

On Friday I sent money for cash pickup, but as the WU branch I went did not have enough cash I had to wait until today. Exchange on Friday was 1 USD : 779 ARS. This morning it was 1:758 (20 ARS less per USD), but on payout they gave me 779 ARS 🥳. I wonder if that was always that way, that WU...

It seems the transfer fees went up for countries in Europe. Maybe WU thinks it helps on their market rate, which is not looking good for the past 2 years. Anyway it helps to play a bit with the numbers. For Example sending 500 EUR would currently cost 25 EUR but 500.01 EUR just 17.50 EUR. Maybe...

Also keep in mind the Agreements related to OECD Common Reporting Standard (CRS) y FATCA. ambito.com: Cuentas sin declarar en EEUU: entró en vigencia el acuerdo de intercambio de información.

Using foreign credit or debit card in Argentina should give an exchange rate similar to USD MEP. But I haven't heard any positive feedback until now, only complains that is still official exchange rate, see for example...

This is for bank to bank transfer using swift not WU. If WU is accepting the transaction from BOA than it's fine. Now they just need to deliver to Galicia account. IMHO the only one who may know why it does not work is WU. Normally it should work with Galicia. The receiver (you) might get...

I also saw CCL at 335,95 (4:26pm, https://www.ambito.com/contenidos/dolar.html) … each time I check WU and CCL I keep notes using copy&paste, otherwise I would have doubted. When I went back at 5pm it was 328,14. Not sure what happened. Maybe government intervention right before the closing...

The staff from a bigger PagoFacil/Western Union location told me that it's best to receive money from 1st to 13th of each month, probably because then people have money to pay their bills. In these days it should be possible to receive 4500 USD. Otherwise you may leave your phone number and thy...

Today I saw this article: https://www.ambito.com/finanzas/dolar/es-como-refugio-cuanto-deben-valer-n5463558 where the author sees the USD around 240 / 250 ARS and at end of the year much higher. At the moment it might be worth to send USD with WU (1 : 237,35), get pesos and buy USD al precio...

Does this mean if I get the US version of WU on my phone I can sent money from my EU account to AR with no fees? Would be interesting especially for small amounts as WU fees are increasing very fast … tripled within 6 months, that's faster than Argentina's inflation. Anyway, I would need to...

Solo se tiene que censar si residió durante los últimos 6 meses o si piensa fijar residencia por los próximos 6 meses. = You only have to take the census if you resided during the last 6 months or if you intend to establish residence for the next 6 months.

WU says under https://www.westernunion.com/de/en/frequently-asked-questions/faq-registration.html: Maybe this explains your problems? I remember when I started to send money to my bank account I had also problems although I answered the questionnaire I got by mail. I found an old mail from...

Whyline is for the receiver to avoid the long lines on Pago Facil stores – who have a partnership with WU. Instead of waiting in the line you can make an appointment using Whyline App and skip the line when it is your turn. See https://whyline.com/home?lang=en.

FWIW: In WU agencies with Pago Facil you can receive larger amounts (>300k ARS) from the days 1 to 10 (or even 13) each month with no problems, when people are paying their bills – just be prepared to wait in long queues, or use the app from whyline.com to make an appointment. You may also ask...

If you need more it might be helpful to send to different person less than 150k (where does this number come from?) or even less and/or use cache pickup with your foreign ID. I don't think that they track foreign IDs, just CUIL/CUIT and also don't care how much you send to different persons – at...
