Western Union

Blue rate jumped up today to 1,360 to $1. I sent myself a WU today as I saw that I had a no fee transfer. I got 1,302.09 so WU rate also is going up. Woo hoo.

Just sent myself a payment today. 1,388 pesos to $1 USD. Great rate but looks like it will go higher. MEP hit 1,425 today and blue dollar too!

WU is trailing behind but probably will catch up. You got a bit better rate than I did but I needed the funds. I got 1344.50. I charged my Visa card today and got 1,318.

Milei and Caputo's attempt to reassure the financial markets that things will be ok isn't working. It's clear dollarization ain't happening anytime soon, taxes have increased when they were supposed to go down, PAIS tax isn't being reduced and people view the peso as being overvalued.

I also sent myself some WU cash today. I thought it would be higher with blue so high.

Remember that WU rate is more related to the MEP Rate than the Blue Rate

Exactly correct. Been interesting watching the sudden price changes and volatility lately.

Western Union rate today was 1390.39 to $1 USD. CCL right now is 1317.37 so drop quite a bit by the end of the day today.

Unfortunately there is a big spread now on Blue dollar and WU rate. I don't have any more cash. I have to send some via my cueva. I sent a WU payment to myself today and only got 1,281.67 to $1 USD. Meanwhile cuevas are paying 1,450 to $1 US now. MEP is 1,310 so back to $100 USD bills being the most valuable here again.

Data point. I picked up cash today and the rate today was 1,333.50 to $1 today. MEP rate today was 1,327.

Bummed the MEP and Blue dollar are going down. Means that WU rate will also fall. I sent some money to myself today and the rate was 1,272.25 to $1.

 

[Mother Russia Argentina]

Today's rate was 1285 : $1 US.

Anyone else having issues with sending/receiving Western Union? I tried this morning and the system was down.
