Sending money to the USA from Argentina? How do you do it?

[old fart]

How do you send money from Argentina to the USA? I am trying to send cash to someone that has a bank account in the USA. I can't wire from my bank account. I don't want to use crypto or Western Union. If I have cash here and want to send to their USA bank account how is that done? I don't want any trace of my name on the wire. How do I accomplish this?

Can you send to them with Venmo or Zelle from your bank? Or do you not want any trace of you paying them? What is the money for? Most banks have Zelle on it in the USA if you're American. Or there are cuevas that you can arrange this with. Or there are probably plenty of expats that would take cash from you in Buenos Aires and just send a wire to their bank account or do a Zelle or Venmo. I would assume they would be willing to accept Venmo if they are in the USA?

None of your business what I am sending the money for. Does it matter? Don't want to use anything with a trace of my name to it which includes Venmo or Zelle. They only want money to their bank account. No other electronic means.

Sounds dubious. Vince is just trying to be helpful. I guess it doesn't matter why you are paying them. It is easy enough with cuevas. There are plenty out there that will do it for you. They will charge you a fee to do it for you plus any wire transfer fees. And probably you can arrange for someone to just get cash and they will make the wire. But they will ask you to pay the cash first so make sure to use someone trustworthy.

This is very easy. The others are correct. You just have to use a money transfer firm or cueva. PM me @old fart and I can help you with this. It's very easy. @Betsy Ross is correct. They will charge you a fee to do this. A % plus any applicable wire transfer fees if the person won't take a Zelle. I'm not sure of the amounts you are talking about but I've worked with firms for 22 years that facilitate this kind of transaction. From small to over $1 Million. Not a big deal.

Your name wouldn't be tied to the transaction. There would be a third party that would wire the funds to this individual where you want the funds going to.

Definitely use someone that has been around a while. All the risk is with you as you need to wire the funds first. It works the same way wiring in funds to Argentina. You have to wire the funds first and then they will give you the cash the next day or so. I have done it many times.

What are you? Some James Bond? Why worry so much for sending money? Usually if you are so worried it means you paying for something you are scared for. Drugs, sex or scared for some taxes. 🤣
