Wise is also super easy to set up and use. I didn’t know about the debit card issue or this new restriction in Intercam to transfer pesos in from Wise. Ugh. It’s great once you have a system set up in Mexico but getting there is a bit of work. Thanks for the tips as trial and error is a huge time sink!
Yes, getting banking stuff set up in Mexico is indeed a bit of work! And a lot of patience. Of course, it gives one the opportunity to catch up on reading!
Well, I'm trying to catch up on my reading, and this is right on. I opened an account a long time ago at Banamex and they seem okay. I use OFX, formerly US Forex, to move/convert. It works pretty well.
Lately, I've been thinking about using Wise because I can get a little better rate. I'd need to set it up though, not my favorite thing to do, although maybe it's fairly easy. Thanks for the tips, Mike!!
Wise is pretty easy to set up - I don't recall it taking more than maybe 10 minutes. It has really been a game changer for me; it is my go-to for moving money around in Mexico and for converting USD to MXN.
I've been busy, but I got around to setting up Wise today. Yep, pretty smooth, thanks for the pointer. They have better exchange rates, and these days I want to try and squeeze a few more pesos for my dollars.
