"Banamex and HSBC both charge about 30 pesos"
I'll mail you my 53 peso Banamex extraction charge slip from Banamex Guerrero Negro if you promise to reimburse me for postage and envelope

someone is doing some building...no bank account yet
the difference between 12 to 1 and

that's a lot of cement
i'm with most of you...i'm happy at 12.5
I cant believe the bank up north gave pesos out
over the counter at 12.5 after fees
amazing... |
There's a limited amount you can change at a cambio, though—I guarantee they don't have 260 kilopesos hanging out waiting for someone to come build a
house.

It's almost always a half peso less than the daily exchange. Remember this and you will never have to ask again.
So today the exchange is 13.26... in the morning when you go to a banco or a casa de cambio... it will be 12.74. That's their profit margin.
Mas o menos. It's almost always half a peso.
Simple.
I have to ask... How does someone who has a website dedicated to Mulege not understand this already?
Furthermore, how does a two-paged thread of this site dedicated to Baja not know??? Do any of you have experience in Baja or Mexico?

it was a legit question...
when someone asks a question I like to give a "correct" answer
cambios post their rates outside like gas stations...
I just thought some could notice the signs...
I guess "salchipulpo" did something wrong...banned after 2 posts...wow

Is it better to use the atm and pay a 3% exchange rate fee + a 5.00 transaction fee than it is to exchange dollars at a casa de cambio?
I bank with BofA and after reviewing my recent statement they credited me over 52.00 in fees, however they were unable to credit me the 3% and the
5.00 fees....

Geez, I can't believe people are still with B of A, Wells, etc. We have not exchanged greenbacks for pesos for less than 13.28 in over a year.
Charles Schwab picks up ANY fees incurred. Seems to us to be an no-brainer. They also have all the services of any normal brick and mortar
institution. This IS the 21st. century. What are we missing here??

Can a person DO a Charles Schwab account online? Seems a little rude to spend 500 dollars or so, to go north and hunt one down. Are their online
services the equal of Wells?
