Here's a website where you can change the current ERs. This place is in Cabarete but rates in Sosua should be the similar.
Wally Exchange Cabarete
Wally Exchange Cabarete
How can Wally justify his rates for a CAD dollar....its trading higher than US dollar.... $1 CAD= $1.00969 US
walleys rates
$1 US = 37.600 dom. peso $1 US = 37.4 pesos
$1CAD =37.964 dom. peso $1 CAD = 36.4 pesos
MY guess the canadians in Cabarete do not do much business with him...
Its because everything bought here from international markets is bought with US dollars. So the cambio's have to change your Canadian $ to US. So the point is change your Canadian $ to US $ in Canada and come down here and exchange to pesos. It's always been this way down here. My parents always ask the same question and I tell them to bring US $ down here.
Remember when (for a short time) the Canadian $ was $1.08 to the US $......they were exchanging at the same rate down here....go figure but it is what it is....

Sosua rates are usually better than Cabarete rates, at least for the US$.
That is a very reasonable rate for CDN$ in the Dominican Republic.
Canadians often pay 2-3% to buy US$ or use the ATM so a 4% hit for Loonies is not bad at all.
It used to be way worse and it still is in some places like Banreservas.
Not so current with exchanging money. But is Caribe tours a worse option than wally's? Other than that you need your ID when you go to Caribe tours?
Caribe Express has the best rates. Wally is very close or matches it. For a few Dominican cents to the US, unless you're exchanging thousands of dollars, use whatever is closest to you.
i was surprised BSC went to 37.5 today
other rates today at santa cruz
CDN: 36.45
EURO: 49.80
when im changing more than usual i use caribe express which is abit higher especially for the euro for some reason
Whatever you do, don't exchange Canadian Dollars at the Airport in POP.
My friends were leaving on Tuesday and had to pay departure tax. They had to echange $50 CDN for $40 USD. Fair? I don't think so.
So I guess the best advice is to bring $USD with you or to go to the ATM with your debit card to get Pesos.

Be careful and count every bill at Caribe Tours Cabarete !!
They try to cheat

Don't change money at the airport. Like most countries, the airport money exchanges charge a heafty vig. That is true for whatever currency you change.
We've been exchanging at Caribe Express for years pretty much once a week. Not once we were short-changed. We'll count twice before leaving the shop from now on then. Thanks.
Same with us. Have never had a problem with any Caribe Express location nor Western Union. But it always pays to double check.
You get the best rates at carribe tours in cabarete. 37,45 yesterday, i have not been in sosua for awhile but i doubt rates are higher there. If they are please let me know
There is another bank in cab. that gives me the same rate when i tell them to do that.. The small one close to the main orange shop... Maybe the street guys in sosua gives better rates the the cabarete street guys but I do not do business with them. They usually give around 35.
