Any dollar ATMs in the city now?

[Joddson]

Hey all,

Has anyone heard anything new about the banks starting to stock some ATMs with USD? I remember reading in la nacion that a couple banks we prepping to do that for the cepo change, but can't find anything more recent.

Would just be convenient to have more options available.

Thanks

Dollar ATMs already exist and have for years and only two types exist:

- ATMs that let people withdraw dollars from their dollar at account at said bank
- Banelco/Link ATMs that let people withdraw dollars from any Argentine dollar account

What isn't and won't be coming is ATMs like you find in many other countries, such as Peru or Chile where you can select which currency
you want, regardless of where your card is issued - the government and BCRA doesn't want to make it easier for Argentines/residents with dollar accounts abroad to access them, they want these funds to be repatriated to capitalize markets/banks/reserves.
