Western Union Not Close to Blue

[oddDistribution]

From what I've read online WU is very close to the blue rate and that's what expats typically use. When I tried to transfer $1,000 the rate it showed was in the 700s. Isn't the blue rate in the 900s? Also, I think the MEP rate for credit cards is like 700s as well according to what I saw online. Is it maybe a temporary thing due to the volatility?

852

I just checked again and you're right it is 852. My mistake, I was mixing it up with MEP.

That's still a pretty big difference though (?) Would be 12 Pct versus 960 I see on bluedollar.net.

WU tracks the "free" CLL.

When the CCL rises, WU takes their time to increase the rate. When the CCL falls, they update ASAP.

And MEP closed above CCL on Friday. Not a common occurrence.

The usual Google Translate deal, banner is in Castellano and story will initially appear in that tongue, but wait a few seconds and it will change to English.

So CCL appears to be a new exchange rate based on trading US dollar denominated bonds to get around the US$200 per month purchase limit.

Not exactly "new", but yes, that's the gist of it.

Last time we (my cat and I) checked, there were a dozen or more different exchange rates
