You got a terrible price.

What's your secret for negotiating a better exchange rate at Western Union?

WU is paying up to 1114, without leaving the house. And anyone with the foresight to have a reserve of hard currency USD can get 1160 strolling down calle Florida (as I did an hour ago). Or going to Reby.

I recently used Remitly.com and got a great rate but today they're only offering 1060 and western union is offering 1149 with a usa bank to Argentina bank transfer with no fee, seems pretty good.

How do you get no fees with WU? I am always slammed with a hefty fee...

I have no idea, maybe it's because it's my first transfer? It said there was a fee of $54.99 but it was 100% off.


This is a USA bank to Argentina bank transfer, it said this was the cheapest way to send. Instead of using a credit card. I haven't tried it yet but plan to in the next few days.

Good luck!

My experience with WU has been excellent. When charged a fee, I consider it a cost of doing business.WU is reliable, prompt and convenient. I don't want to stroll up Florida Street to change money.

Como on, banker. Think of all those extra bottles of Nampe you can buy.

LOL.....I stocked up on Nampe when Carrefour had a 4 for 2 sale. I could open my own wine store! It's still well under $2 US a bottle.

Possibly because it is the first transfer. It happen to me too.
