Okay... I help my friend set this up.... I am not sure if you are a US citizen or not - but he is not we paid that $27 usd for one of those (lets show you how to open a bank account and not be a US Citizen websites) it actually worked and I am not going to plug any website - but mainly there is a bank in the US that has a specific type of account set up that as long as you have a valid passport you are approved - if it is a US passport you must provide a social security number - anyway you cannot apply via the internet but it is an application you download and mail in - I have them downloaded to my computer still. You mail it in and they mail you a welcome packet in like 10 days with online banking user id and access code.
It works with paypal - he set it up. The trick in order to get a Visa Check Card and Checks you have to have deposited $1000 usd. You do not have to maintain this minimum balance, but at the time of request (you do not get your visa check card and checks automatically - a signature card is sent to you in the welcome packet and it says check here if you want a visa check card, check here if you want a second one and check here if you want checks (first 50 checks free) and then you sign and date and another authorized user signs and dates) and then you mail in a deposit of $1000 us with the request or you make sure to have gotten $1000 usd transferred in before. He had it in his paypal account so before he sent his request he transferred $1000 us into his new bank account. After that about 14 days later he got his card and checks and withdraws all over the DR with his card.
They say you do not have to have US Mailing address but he set up a Business Mail Account anyway (for lack of safety of mailing things to him here), so his physical address is his house in the DR and his mailing address is the Business Mail in Miami.
I do not know if this is anything like you are looking for, but I figured that I would let everyone know that those websites really work if you follow the directions and take the time and have about a months patience, and I wonder if I could get in any trouble giving away the applications that I downloaded for free??? I downloaded it from there service but it is not there application - it is an application from the actual bank - so if anything they should not have been charging for it and helping others not have to waste their money is okay? Thoughts, Comments?
Sorry for the long winded.
