      I just used Western Union and their app was ok, the exchange rate amazing, and the transfer immediate. I never expected this. Only thing that would speed up money pickup would be a QR code on a mobile friendly transfer receipt.pic.twitter.com/GlJEmXULt3

      Sending 10,000 Argentinian pesos will cost you: $139 with @WesternUnion $175 with @TransferWise TransferWise is 25% more expensive, because their exchange rate is 1:60 vs 1:81pic.twitter.com/KFr8Zd21bP

      I had such a horrible experience using TransferWise in Argentina

      I couldn’t get the debit card to work at most ATMs (there are two major ATM networks there, worked at LINK but not the bigger one). ATMs said it was declined, Transferwise approved. Ate up my available ARS balance throughout the whole trip. Bad support. Also the fees.

      Ah, I considered using ATMs but didn’t because of the 8% local transaction fees. The card otherwise worked fine at terminals

      Yeah ATM fees were 300-700 ARS... brutal. Why do you use your TW card at point-of-sale vs a rewards-bearing card with no foreign transaction fees?

      I don’t have a rewards bearing card without transaction fees 🙃

          I was thinking Apple Card or Amexhttps://twitter.com/thijsniks/status/1219452455806697474?s=21 …

          The Amex app shows the receipt if you buy something at Apple, whereas the Apple Card does not and instead leaves you guessing what that random amount was for pic.twitter.com/vszwaapQLZ

          Hm, the Amex Cash Magnet has a 2.7% fee but I… forgot about the Apple Card? Using mostly cash anyway, because that saves 25%
