Has anyone successfully transferred US dollars directly into your US dollar bank account in AR

[rob0001]

If you were able to do this what method did you use? I'm not here to debate the logic of this I'm simply asking if you have done this and how. I also realize I can receive it in pesos and then exchange to dollars but that's not my question either.
Thanks for all your help.

SWIFT. No problem. Not only that, I could walk into the bank and take my Dollars home with me.

Caveats: If you hit the yearly limit for whatever tax category you might be, things will become more difficult. Not impossible, there are ways. I work as a self-employed person (monotributista) and declare foreign income, there is a defined limit for how much I can bring in per year without it being pesified.

You will probably need to fill out the appropriate forms to explain why your funds shouldn't be pesified (at the official rate).

I do it all the time. A wire transfer bank to bank through homebanking in USDs. If you have an account in Argentina in USDs, ask Comercio exterior for more info @ your bank.

Yes, I wired myself $160k to purchase a property. BofA international wire directly to BNA dollar account. Cost was $125 base fee and something like 0.35% of the amount.

There must be limits, I imagine, but I never had any problem or was told by a bank that a transfer of mine was over any limit. All those questions should be addressed directly to COMEX (your bank's department of comercio exterior), since they have all the replies.

I have to pay a commision to my US bank and a greater commision to the local bank in Argentina, depending on the transfer amount.

If you are talking about income, last I heard it was $24,000 per year (per person) above which pesifying would occur.

If you are talking about about repatriation of funds (prior earned savings) then the limits are higher.

An accountant would be able to clarify this for you.
