Paying for apartment purchase with no bank account

[rindozes]

Hello, I have to pay for an apartment in BA. I have already put in an offer, got it accepted, and everything else. Problem is I have no bank account there. My wife is an Argentinian citizen, but has no bank account either. She has family that have accounts, one in Chile now and one in BA still. I've been trying to find a way to get the money there without getting wrecked on the pesofication, but haven't found anything. The only thing that seems doable is flying down there with a bunch of cash, but that is dangerous. Is there any way I can get money over there without a huge fee?

You have to do a search for Casa Puente on this site. I was in the same predicament as yours when I bought my apartment here.
That was many years ago so things might have changed. Good luck.

Hi D.B., do you remember how much was their fee for providing you with cash?
Was it a percentage of the amount?

I don’t remember the exact amount. But it was very reasonable and I was glad to pay it. Yes, it was a percentage of the amount transferred.
