Hi,
I´m wondering if my Argentine fiancé can wire me money in pesos from his local (peso) bank account to my account in the U.S., and what the associated fees and exchange rate might be. Even though he had documents proving where his money came from (and we´re not talking about that much), AFIP denied him when he tried to buy dollars. Rather than trying to find a cueva to buy dollars or physically bringing pesos to the U.S., we figure wiring is the best option if it´s even doable.
He has local accounts with Galicia, HSBC, and Citi, and I have accounts in the U.S. with Wells Fargo and B of A. I´m sure my close family members would be willing to receive the money on their account and then write me a check if Wells Fargo or B of A are not good choices.
Are Argentine banks even allowing wire transfers to destinations outside of Argentina these days? And are U.S. banks participating in these types of transactions? Any advice would be appreciated. It seems like in addition to the exchange rates, the rules are changing every day.
Thanks.
