Money Honey...and Stuff Too

[camino no tomado]

Getting pesos near the blue rate is difficult for Canadians unless you have a US bank account (not a canadian bank with an account in USD) like myself, otherwise your options are limited to Chile/Uruguay/Bolivia/Brasil or bringing all the cash you need

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the difference whether it's a US or Canadian account provided the funds are US currency?

I wasn't being serious... I agree. Anything you write online (especially on a public forum) can be viewed by anyone. I'm not sure if we're under watch... but it's generally not a good idea to reveal any illegal activity.

For what it's worth, I've never considered the internet 'private.' Not even emails.

I think the government's actions have more to do with the locals anyway... there's a lot of people with a lot of money in Argentina and AFIP isn't completely blind.

I thought we established a long time ago that the Campora is monitoring this forum daily. Richard One has been on their list for years.

Well, for agencies like XOOM for example, they only accept US Bank accounts as a funding means. It is likely due to the fact
that they don't want to deal with the different laws/regulations in the Canadian banking sector, it also takes longer for ACH
transactions to process in Canada in Canadian Dollars.

In 2014 there still really isn't a direct, easy, affordable way to transfer funds between the United States and Canada without
going through a currency house/forex agency/paypal/etc.

Ahh, I see. Good to know ... thanks.
