Has anyone tried to open a dollar checking account in the DR recently?
I tried at one of Banco Popular?s main branches and got the cold shoulder. They offer it as a service on there web site but when I tried to apply they basically didn?t wont to know, claimed they didn?t even have copies of the application form.
Have banked with them for years, never had problems in getting dollar credit cards in the past. Are banks now, at a personal level, actively tightening up on who has access to dollars and who can move dollars around? Or did I just have a bad day? Has anyone opened a US$ checking account recently?
