It's a flat fee of two dollars to transfer any amount to a bank account here, variable fee if you pick up cash here, both ways using debit card to transfer. (Transferring 60 would be a five dollar fee for cash pickup)Hello, anyone knows how much is the fee for sending 50/60 bucks? and the current exchange. Thanks.
@SinPulgas did it work?When I went to get the info from the Moneygram page to answer the question, I noticed (although it's probably been there) that there's an option to sent to a mobile wallet. So I'm trying it. I'm trying to send US$100 to my Mercado Pago account. I'll post back on the results, but the transfer is supposedly on its way.
A couple nice things:
The money is supposed to arrive today. We'll see.
- Higher rate -- the rate is 1032.84, higher than those above
- No fee -- so the effective rate is even higher, about 5% higher for a 100 dollar transfer compared to sending to a bank here.
And just as I'm finishing typing this, the money has arrived in my Mercado Pago account. It took 13 minutes. (Transfers to my bank here usually take 70 - 80 minutes, Western Union transfers usually arrive 6pm next business day.)
Yes. I noted that at the end. The money arrived while I was writing the note about it.@SinPulgas did it work?
Thanks. This is the similar experience I had yesterday after close of markets. No fee, and very fast. Sending from USA debit card to an Argentina CVU virtual account is the best rate. Sending to a CBU bank account is a lower rate. I sent to my prepaid Ualá card.When I went to get the info from the Moneygram page to answer the question, I noticed (although it's probably been there) that there's an option to sent to a mobile wallet.
