Exchange Houses and Banks
Where to change US dollars in greater Buenos Aires, nearest first: exchange houses (casas and agencias de cambio) licensed by Argentina's Central Bank, and banks that change cash for people who aren't their customers. Both give you a receipt, unlike street changers. Banks are open weekdays only and usually pay a little less than exchange houses.

- Bring your passport; exchange houses and banks ask for ID.
- Bring clean US$100 bills in the current design (blue 3D security ribbon). Older designs, marked or torn bills and small denominations get a lower rate.
- Compare their buy rate with Blue buy on the rates page. Rates differ between houses and branches, so call or check their website first.
- Count the money at the counter and keep the receipt.
Exchange houses come from the Central Bank's registry of exchange operators, updated weekly; suspended licenses and upstairs offices are left out. Banks are the ones whose websites say they change cash for non-customers (Banco Piano), plus Banco NaciĂłn's counter at Ezeiza airport. Opening hours are from each company's website where we've checked them. ARS Rates isn't affiliated with any of these companies.
