bournemouth Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 20 centavos is not unusual - 20 pesos would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerm Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 ezpz when the peso goes in the opposite direction do your Mexican helpers charge a lessor amount. Seems fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyco Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 ezpz when the peso goes in the opposite direction do your Mexican helpers charge a lessor amount. Seems fair? . I'll be glad to give you a $ dollar $ every time the peso gets stronger and goes up in value, if you give me a $ dollar $ every-time the peso loses value.

johanson Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not all exchange houses charge that much. I have never seen it that much higher before. In fact never, lakeside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte39 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Walking past Intercam today, I saw that the current average rate between Buy and Sell was over 19 pesos! This is great for us USians. For the Mexicans, it's inflationary, and it affects their household budgets. We USians can help by tipping well, giving raises or little perks to deserving employees, and get out there and spend some pesos locally! That difference would have had to have been on a $100 usd exchange of buying and/or selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Don't see how they could "sell" you pesos at 19 to the dollar. That must be the "buy" rate. At Costco today I used a Chase MC and got 18.24 on the exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joco Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Has anyone tried this site for sending money from U.S. accounts to MX accounts? It was on the Bank of Mexico site. http://www.directoamexico.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 It does not include the major banks in the US. Mostly credit unions and small banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 It does not include the major banks in the US. Mostly credit unions and small banks. For the people who are having trouble transferring money to here, who can't use FE Exchange and some others, it might be an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
