Payments from abroad

  • NO REGISTRATION FEE IS FURTHER APPLICABLE

  • Method 1
The preferred method to pay the fee is through TransferWise. It is cheaper, easier and faster than traditional bank transfer. Depending of your country, you may pay through credit card, debit card, or bank transfer. You may find the details of the recipient on item g) of the list below.
If you didn’t use TransferWise before, please follow these instructions (the details may vary depending of your country).
a) Go to transferwise.com.
b) Create an account (a standard procedure: email plus password).
c) The first time you log in, you will be asked for some personal data.
d) Choose the amount of money to be transferred and your currency. Also, choose «ARS» (Argentinian pesos) as the recipient currency.
e) Choose the method of payment: card or transfer.
f) Choose «Business or charity» as the new recipient if this choice is available.
g) Fill out the form with the following data of the recipient:
 
Name of the business/charity: Asociacion Argentina de Astronomia
Tax Id: CUIL/CUIT: 30709681199
Account number (CBU): 0070172920000012157633
 
h) If you are going to use bank transfer (not cards), TranferWise will then give you some important information about the TransferWise account and some reference numbers that you should copy in order to accomplish the next step.
i) If paying with bank transfer, go to your bank account and do a (local) bank transfer to your TranferWise account using the data you’ve just copied.
