money transfer citibanamex

Posted by jill on November 17, 2020, 11:56 am

Citi told me they transfer to citibanamex but another citi person said they no longer are with banamex. Anyone know the truth? Has anyone transferred from citi to citibanamex in Melaque?

I've been spending hours trying to get a verification code unsuccessfully because I don't have a U.S. phone. Skype & other online phone companies are often rejected for code sms usage. Any suggestions?

I use Xoom; the money is deposited within a few hours. I am restricted to $999.00, per transfer, but it is free. Owned now by PayPal.

19.94 pesos to the dollar seems like a pretty good rate to me.

TransferWise works well and you get the market exchange rate. You can send large amounts as well as small ones. Here's a link to check them out.

Thanks for the responses. Paypal/xoom takes a pretty hefty fee in the form of currency conversion. Transferwise is about 4.5 percent fee. I was trying them when the internet finally cut out. A citi transfer, if doable, has no fee.

Not sure where 4.5% came from. When I use transfer wise it comes to about 1.14%.

Thanks for the info. Xe sounds promising. Transferwise & paypal give me high costs when I go to fill in the form.

Get a US Skype # and enable call forwarding/ messaging to your phone here. Telcel gets SMS codes forwarded from Skype

I tried it. no go with banks, Apparently their system recognizes the wifi-based number and rejects it. Otherwise I do get sms and codes on skype.

I use XEtrade, (XE.com) Once you have your account set up, they take the money out of your bank, where ever it is and puts the corresponding pesos wherever you want it.

There is no fee from your home bank, XEtrade or the
bank that receives the money, in this case, Banamex. I have never found a better conversion rate. When you use their service you fill in the amount you want to send or the amount you want to receive and they instantly give you the coversion cost. If you don't like what you see, exit the site. No harm, no foul.
