Hi all, forgive me because I'd bet this was covered once here but the search function isn't the greatest and the laws change so fast I'm hoping for a fresh answer:
My girlfriend is from Argentina and will soon be living in the US with me for the foreseeable future. She is also in the states with me right now. We are trying to figure out the best way for her to get about ARS $15,000 into US dollars into a bank account in the states.
We could try to use US ATMS right now, or wait until she goes back to Argentina and do whatever else is recommended. I've heard there's some way to invest in US companies in the argentine stock market. Is that possible for such a small amount? Any other clever options?
We tried using her credit and debit card to withdraw money from an ATM here today, but with no success. Does Argentina impose daily limits on withdrawals? We stopped trying after it rejected our attempt to withdraw $100 USD, figuring that any lower might not be worth it once you add on the $3 transaction fee, and that we'd better do some research first on the conversion rate.
Thanks!
