How receiving money via Western Union works in Argentina
Who sends you the silver from outside does the shipment on the web, on the app or at a Western Union agency in their country and receives a control number called MTCN. With that number and your document you can charge in three ways, according to what the sender has chosen: in cash in a Western Union agency, in a bank account, or in the Pago Easy App wallet, where Western Union indicates that there is no charge to receive.
The important thing is to look how many pesos (or dollars) you get in total, not only the commission of the shipment. Western Union clarifies that the rates and rates your converter shows are estimates that change according to the means of payment and collection.
Why we use the CCL as reference
When dollars enter from abroad, the market price of those dollars is the CCL: the exchange rate that comes from buying bonds or shares abroad and selling them in pesos in Argentina. It serves to know if the contribution they offer you is close to the market or far away. If they pay you much less than the CCL, the difference is the actual cost of the shipment. Also compare with the MEP dollar and the official.
If you send money abroad from Argentina
It is paid in pesos and Western Union converts with its own exchange rate. Before confirming, Western Union's own simulation shows you how much the other person receives and the corresponding taxes.
