What is the max I can send myself via Western Union?

[steveinbsas]

We sent across 9 separate transfers in the space of 4 months to a local arg bank account - (all between USD$500 and $2500).

We had no problems for the first 7.

Then we got blocked - as in the money didn't arrive for the last 2 transfers - both were refunded by WU about a week after they were sent.

We solved it by sending $ to a different local bank account.

No idea how long the block lasts.. WU isn't great with customer service.

Anyone know how to get unblocked?

I don't think Western Union customer service could do anything to help you, even if they wanted to, as it's the bank that did not accept your last two transfers.

I suggest you contact the bank that blocked the transfers as they have the power to also unblock them.

PS: The bank may have blocked the transfers because the monthly amounts that you have been sending to yourself exceed the monthly income that you "declared" you would be depositing when you opened the account and/or if you've been depositing more than $200.000 pesos per month and aren't registered with AFIP to pay income tax (just a hunch).

If it is cash, you will have to go to the sede central in Belgrano. Most other outlets won't have enough.

Street please?

Street please?

La Pampa, corner with Cabildo. It looks small from the outside but the interior is large, it has about 15 service windows.
