does anyone have any info on which bank ATMs accept the new cards with embedded chips?
my local Banco Progresso does not.

I used to go weeks in the US without cash. It was called using a credit card. Never had a problem. Here, try using your credit cards and tell me how many you need to replace each year. It is simply not feasible here in the DR. As far as I have been able to determine, there is no country that uses only electronic payments. The DR will not be the first to do so.

You also need a phone line or internet access...a hard to find item in the Campo.
And the merchant pays a fee for the card swipe and half the population gets hip deep paying more than 20% APR on their cards.
In numerous places in Africa, they're using cellphones instead of cash. Kenya can do it, but the DR can't?

i think you guys need to stop with all the negativity and mocking of pichardo. for example: i'm in DR and i have no cash at the moment. see? cashless DR.
same as being cashless anywhere...if you need "money" to buy something you will run out to get some......do as u have to to get some...atm, bank.
