Lavalle 835 # 15.
This is a souveneir shop in a mall.
Paraguay 640 # 115.
Located in galleria del sol.
Both of these places are safe and will give you decent rates.
I have used both several times in the past few years with good results.

Does anyone know if ATM's in Chile give a US dollar option as available in Uruguay?

My suggestion is to ask your hotel the closest money exchange location. Rate differences are insignificant unless you are exchanging big sums of cash.
Also remember to use big bills as they get a higher rate than smaller bills.
Atms are plentiful and usually reliable.

Posts: 3In BA 3/1 Need currency exchange info
I will arrive on the first of March and was wondering:
1. Did the aforementioned strike occur? If yes, does it affect my ability to get USD converted to pesos?
2. I read previously that Florida St is the place to go to get the best exchange rate. Does anyone have any tips on who, or other places?
Thanks for any help.
Russ.

Posts: 1043Daily Max?
Today I pulled 4,000 pesos (2,000 back to back) from a Santander Rio machine. I always assumed the 2,000 was a daily limit but obviously not.

Today I saw a local news flash that there will be a "paro bancario " or bank strike this Friday. If you're low on cash for the weekend I suggest pulling it before then just in case .

Posts: 1043Thanks for the replies. Pulling USD from my US account did sound too good to be true in Argentina.
Pulling 16,000 in pesos and changing to 1000 USD would take 8 days and around $150 in fees, though mine are supposedly reimbursed now. Not a great option.
I may try Xoom.
Or better yet get the next apartment through AirBNB that just takes my payment online via plastic. It's so much easier than BYT argentina, that requires everything in cash USD, exact change, plus deposit and contract.

Posts: 1043Usd atm
Has anyone found an ATM that will dispense USD? I just went to a Citibank on Libertador and the machine did have a menu option for USD, but when I tried it it would not dispense. So I ended up taking the max 2000 pesos.
I'm staying here a month longer than planned , need another USD 1,000 for rent, which preferably I could get in a couple pulls.
