Cajero (atm) Argentina, all have a local commission?
 

Hi, has anybody found any bank in Argentina which do not apply commission for taking money from Atm (cajero automatico)?

That was my biggest complaint in Argentina. Huge fees and limited withdrawal amount. Be careful in Patagonia as well , most of the ATMs wouldn't work at all for my cards.

Do you rely think that somebody is going to get a answer for you`r question..?? and tell you that somewhere in a norther part of Argentina in a small town a local bank is not charging any fee on ATM withdrawals ....and it is 1200 km from Buenos Aires....hey no such bank......

Not only the high charges for each transaction, but the low amount you can get per transaction.
Perhaps still some merit in looking for individuals or businesses that need dollars beyond what they can source legalli

Why not??
I know that a lot of banks in Peru' charge a commission, but not Banco de la Nacion. It's possible that there is a bank in Argentina with no commission... And what's the problem with a suggestion about a small bank in a small village etc??? Maybe it's on my way and want to use it. If you do not like the question just do not answer with stupid things. Tks

hola camomillo
 

i've done some online research and it didn't give me much info.
someone said you could withdraw from the counter inside the bank larger sums.
others had no such luck.
what about changing dollars officially???
i am in peru and could get $$ out of the atm here.
please do keep us informed on the subject.
muchas gracias y buen viaje
all the best geri

I've read maybe here or other forum that here in Argentina you can get a very good change (blu dollars rate) in restaurants etc which is best than at the banks, so I think it's best for you to take usd from free atm in Peru' and change them in Argentina. Here atm commission is about 96ars each time and maximum amount to 2400 ars each time (no usd, only in ars)!!! I only have 25usd and I will change them, but if I were in Peru' I would take more of them. It's just my opinion...maybe someone more expert can give you any better advice.

Argentinean Blue Dollar Market with “very good change rate” have disappeared around one year ago. Now the difference in between the official and the informal market doesn’t worth the risk to obtain fake notes or be scammed. Always was good to obtain dollars in other countries and change it in Argentina in small amounts when you need it. You don’t will get Dollars from ATMs here, maybe a transfer from your account to cash using Western Union, Moneygram or a system like that will work…

Oh...bank in Peru has a low commission rate....wauuuuu then go to that bank and withdrow money for the rest off your life....
....if you are sending a letter once a year go and pay to the post office what they charge .....

P.S. Hope this helps you in life....

Safe ride

Thank you for update! I'll consider a money transfer as you suggest. Now I'm trying to pay everything with the debit card, because I do not have commission with it (only the change).

Kawazoki, the vote is in and tallied. You win the wooden spoon prize for the least useful post on this topic.

Agreed!

Why cant a moderator just delete such nonsense and consider the need of few days "rest" for this member?

Huge fees in ATMs in SA seems to be a real PITA. So far I have only been to Chile where most banks seems to charge a fee of 5000 pesos (= 7,25 €) and in Argentina with 97 pesos (5,75 €) - but this really sucks!
Lets say one travel in SA for one year and do 2 withdrawels pr week - then one will waste something like 500-800 € in bank fees pr year! Ridicolous.....

British banks charge 2% for exchange..before somebody contradicts, it is in the spread. American banks charge 2% for foreign transactions. SA banks charge 2.6%, doesn't seem that outrageous. And to kawazoki's point, banks are there to make money, lots of money for their shareholders, its a fact of life.
Now to suggest deletion, suspension or whatever; this isn't the christian childrens community website, we are super duper tough motorcyclists and sometimes we speak our minds, I'm sure Camomillo can take it:wink3::wink3:

There still are many countries that charges nothing or very little for the use of a foreign cards in their ATMs, for example Australia and New Zealands banks ATMs charges a 3 dollar fee for each withdrawel and you can at least withdraw 500 dollars at a time - probably more (I didnt try) and banks in Indonesia and Malaysia didnt charge any fees at all if I remember right. I wonder how these banks can make a living compared to their AS counterparts?

A certain fee is understandable but nothing like 97 pesos for a 1200 pesos withdrawel! And you should check your % calculation - it sure wasnt your best subject at school.

Anyhow - Cammomillo started a a serious thread with a simple question and a certain person thinks that a good point to try to write nonsense several times.
Is that the way we want this forum to be?
