Exchanging Currency

I just hope BA does not become Caracas.

1 usd = 6 Bs in white.

1 usd = 630 Bs in Black.

While it might never get that bad here, its not for lack of trying.......

I think it would be wise to change at least 5000 usd at 15.0 and not repent whether it goes further up or crashes down.

Prolly around 14.5 today, still gaining.

Perm adjustment or winter vacation demand? Change a bunch or slowly ride it up? Opinions?

$14.76 right now.

How does Argentina's illegal and opaque currency market really work?

This analysis would actually be more accurate if you not only take the average published online rate but also an average of the cueva rates. From what I've found cueva prices usually differ about 20-30 centavos so a more accurate analysis would factor this in as well.

When I left the exchange rate was 12.40 Now it's 13.40. Damn capital controls. Did I miss any elections btw?

As did I, Ambito shows a close of 13.2-13.3 today. Sadly last nights entertainment is COD. Hopefully this is the beginning of the long awaited adjustment.

I do not pretend to be smart, but on occasion I am lucky. I usually change $500, but Monday I only changed $300.

This afternoon I received 12.70 for three Benjamins.

Greetings Everyone,

Today at approximately 4 pm a friend of mine exchanged $1,000 USD for pesos.

Just before he left to exchange his cash, the popular local exchange rate websites were reporting the following Blue Dollar exchange rates:

PLEASE NOTE: These are the published rates to SELL your dollars in exchange for pesos.

La Nacion "Dolar Blue Compra" = 12.75

Ambito.com "Informal Compra" = 12.92

Infobae.com "Dolar Libre" = 13.08

DolarBlue.net "Deep Blue Compra" = 13.02

DolarAlDia.com "Dolar BLUE o Dolar Paralelo" = 13.02

----------------------------------------------------------

A) Average Published Rate = 12.96

B) Rate Actually Received = 12.90

C) Discount as percent of the Average Rate = -0.47%

D) Discount as a multiplier of the Average Rate = x .9953

You're welcome.

Is it possible to go to the teller and get cash for the full amount in one transaction, rather than doing the three or four transactions?

I do not know about the Uruguay banks, but if they are similar to the USA you probably have to have an account to cash a check. I do not know if the Uruguay banks give credit card advances in dollars. My ATM card rebates the ATM fees in full, so I just use the ATM machine.

When I made a withdrawal 2 years ago, my bank had a maximum of $1000.00 USD per day. The ATM machines had a maximum of $300.00 USD per TRANSACTION, and a $6.00 charge per transaction. I made 3 withdrawals of $300.00 each. I could have made a fourth withdrawal of $100.00 but chose not to.

If the banks are like the most of the rest of Uruguay, little has changed in 2 years, and you are still limited to $300.00 per ATM transaction. I do not know if the ATM machines have a maximum USD withdrawal limit, but since your bank limits you to $500.00 USD, you should be OK..
I hope this helps.

Hee hee. Seriously, though, good information. I'll be visiting Uruguay during my upcoming trip in October, so will take advantage of the ATM opportunities.

Do you know if caja automaticas (ATMs) in Colonia Uruguay have a max amount of US dollars they let you withdraw daily? I know my bank limits withdrawal to $500 a day. But is there a daily limit on withdrawals set by the ATM machines themselves? How much?
