Changing Money

[milanesas]

Hi,
For the last few years I've always changed money (USD to pesos) at cuevas for the blue rate, but in the past several months it seems the "blue" rate is a little lower than the official rate, especially if you have to change bills that aren't 50's or 100's. Question, could I just go to any bank as a non-member and exchange USD to pesos at the official rate?
Thank you!

1. yes
2. I still normally get rates better than official, touch base if interested.

What banks would those be? I was told I had to have an account at a particular bank in order to sell dollars for pesos.

Same answer given to non-account holders where I bank locally. They are referred to currency exchange agencies found throughout the city.

Several months ago I changed US dollars to pesos several times at the Superville branch on Las Herras between Pueyrredón and Austria. And I do not have an account there. Getting past the automation kisok the first time was not straightforward. Tell the security guard that you want to change money.
