Posts: 28Airport bank hours
Well aware but thanks for mentioning not to use the exchanges, I was refering to the Bank. American flight from Miami gets in at 6:20am, it's been two years but I'm thinking I had to wait a little bit for them to open, I just don't want to sit around the airport for another hour. Maybe I should just hit a bank in town, do you know a good place closer to Uruguay and Cordoba or Santa Fe than Paris Cambio?

I usually arrive on the early American Airlines flight and have always found the Bank Seaman refers to as open. This flight arrives around 8 or 7am based on the time of year. Seaman is quite correct about the "other" exchange locations at the airport (total rip off joints)
Happy Mongering All. Toymann

Posts: 168Airport exchange places
The only place you want to use there is Banco de la Nacion which gives you the official exchange rate. I guess they open at normal business hours, so around 8-9AM? I might be wrong though.
Stay well clear of all the other exchange places! Recently I was at the airport and checked the exchange rate at the other places. The official rate was 3.85 to a dollar, they were offering 3.33 to a dollar! And people were still queuing up to use their service. (The only thing they had to do was looking to the left and walk another 50 ft. BdlN was advertising the rate on a display!

Posts: 168If you are in the situation that you need to change dollars to pesos, and the usual places are closed (which is most likely the case after 6PM) then you can go to Disco or Carrefour supermarkets and just pay your 10 pesos grocery with US$100. Disco gives ~5 cents under the published rate, Carrefour about 10cents. So that comes down to a whopping 5 pesos / 10 pesos for every US$100 changed. So in case you need pesos, and the exchange places are closed, that is the way to go!

Posts: 1017Scam
I had this happen in Las Canitas early this year and in Bangkok in the summer. When the cashier is ready to give you your money, instead of verbally counting and showing the bills to you, they will just flop them under the window, whilst verbally emphasized the total figure of the transaction. If you are in any way distracted, you will be annoyed to find 1 bill missing later on. The second occasion, I caught it, and was paid but not much you can do about it.

Posts: 1064I use this exchange house often, next to McDonalds
They accept photocopy of passport and will match bank rates. No english really spoken. I can change money off hours at the bank rates. They will negociate the rates if you are changing a few hundred dollars. To change 50 us dollars, they are not really interested.

Posts: 2599Thats where the Chicks from out of town go to cash in their dollars.
Just up the street about a block & a half is a resident apartment hotel. Its completely full of girls from Paraguay and Brazil and most of them work in Recoleta clubs.
The tourist gringo's will sometimes pay them in dollars and thats the spot they exchange them for peso's.

Sydney,
Thanks for the warning. I was walking past just before 10.00 am as they were opening up and only checked if passports were needed.

Its a subte ride away from centro but if you're in the area there's a good place (normal rates, no passport needed) in Belgrano. Outside Juramento subte, on c / Juramento opposite Ateneo bookstore. Pounds, euros, dollars, and more.

Posts: 67Pounds Sterling
I have a friend who needs to exchange some Pounds Sterling (not Euros) and has not had any luck at two exchange houses. Any suggestion on where to go to exchange under.
Many thanks.
