Posts: 67Western Union to receive money transfers from US?
Hey guys, it looks like I will be back in BA late summer for a few months and wanted to ask what was the best way to receive a money transfer from the US that I can convert to cash? Is Western Union a good option, or something similar? I plan to get a Schwab ATM card, but there might be occasions where I will need cash and don't want to set up a local account, etc.
Thanks in advance.

On Monday I got 16.00 and on wed I got 16.10 at 860 Florida. I have used this guy for several years I always exchange three hundred us and during the blue days he always seemed a little higher than others and now he seems right at the official exchange rate. When you enter this small shopping mall, Galeria el sol Walt to the last door on the right.

On the Bloomberg exchange it sez the argentine exchange rate is 15.99. Is anybody getting that or anything even close to that now?

Posts: 1740Glad I brought dollars
I brought about $1500 down and exchanged three times. Twice earlier in the week at 15.1 and 15.2. Later in the week got 15.4 at a different place. Both places were on Lavalle. This was all with 20s, I totally forgot to bring 100s, which would likely have got me a better rate. Not a big deal, probably a $20 difference. The "cambio cambio" guys are still out in full force.
Have done a few ATM withdrawals as well. The most I have been able to withdraw at one time is 2000 pesos which is a poor deal. Each withdrawl you get the $6 (94.20 pesos) local bank charge. Have yet to see what my bank charged, but suspect the net rate will be lower than 15.

Posts: 7Cash vs ATMs and best place in Retiro?
Hi, I almost always use ATMs when travelling. My bank has not transaction fees and even rebates any ATM fees charged. But seems the consensus here is cash is king in BA. Is that true. Can anyone recommend the best place to get a good rate in Retiro?

Posts: 1043I think I just set a record for worst exchange rate ever.
I pulled 2,000 pesos out of Santander ATM (that's the max) and the total that came out of my bank, including 3 fees, was USD 152.40.
So the effective rate was 13.12, about a 13% haircut off official.
I haven't used an ATM in Argentina for years, so I wanted to try. Lesson learned.
