Hi there!
A friend in Zihua need some money and is doing business with Banco Azteca and the user card is a Visa debit. What is the fastest/safest/cheapest way of sending money from Canada to that account and what is needed. Thanks for all info!

Maybe Western Union.I know from the US I can send directly to a Mexican bank account for 1.99. Instantaneous.

Have you tried wise.com? (Formerly transferwise.com.) They give a very good exchange rate for U.S. dollars to Mexican pesos.

Wise has been unable to transfer money to a Banco Azteca account since at least May 24. I try monthly and get the same negative answer. worked in 23?

Wise does not recognize Banco Azteca

In California, there are, or used to be, Banco Azteca branches. Maybe one near you???

I've sent money to a friend in Zihua via Western Union. He picks it up at Oxxo. You could do the same, and he can take the cash to his bank.

Using pangea is a fast and less expensive way to send money to Mexico and you have a range of locations you can pick for the reciepient to use for pick up. The sender receives a notification when the funds have been picked up.

You will need the clave # to transfer money. I have an account at Intercam and transferred money to my account. You can transfer to anyone and I did via etransfer with no cost to me, but you will need the recipient's clave.

But isn't the clave like 16 numbers long and derives from a *Mexican* bank account? That was where I got tripped up, due in part to my limited Spanish, and literally got out of Dodge. After that ordeal I now carry a second card around so that my whole life does not come crashing down after suspected fraud when I am travelling abroad.

I am pretty sure that the CLABE (CLAVE?) is 18 digits long. The 16-digit account numbers are tied to credit and debit cards.

I know this will be a silly question to most of you but I'm behind the times when it comes to technology. Are you saying it's possible to send money from your Canada/US account to your Intercam account using your computer, from your living room? At no charge to you, using Wise?

Wise does charge but it is much less than other services such as Xoom. (Xoom charges you a small or no commission depending upon the amount but their exchange rate is much less than Wise so it winds up being much more than Wise.) Your Intercam account will most likely not charge you any amount on the incoming transfer. BBVA does not charge for incoming transfers.

I don’t know about Intercam, but I frequently use Wise to move money from my Canadian Tangerine bank account into my Mexican Banorte or Mexican ScotiaBank account.
I have my Wise account set up as an “external account” within Tangerine.
I “Move money” from my Tangerine chequing account to my Wise account. This usually takes a couple of “business days”.
Then I transfer it from my Wise account into the Mexican account. That usually takes minutes… yes, minutes.
I can also withdraw money at a Mexican ATM with my Wise debit card at favourable rates.
