Today’s rate is 213.25 ARS to USD. Depending on how you structure your payment ie a $2500 US transaction (originating USD from either a bank account, credit card, debit card or paying in cash at a Western Union location) and receiving the funds in Argentina at a Western Union location or an Argentine bank account the fees vary considerably from $37.50 to $227.50
