    ACH to a Dominican Bank

    I believe it's terminology and not the same network.

    ACH to a Dominican Bank

    i think Wise lists the bank code incorrect for Banreservas (although it is just an example page i guess). The show BAGR which is Banco Agricola i think. Banreservas should be BRRD. Do you send Euros or USD (or?) to the Dominican bank? I don't see an option for DOP.

    ACH to a Dominican Bank

    ACH is run by the USG. https://fiscal.treasury.gov/ach/ and only works with USA banks. It's how all money is transferred from one bank to another bank and even paypal and zelle and everyone else *has* to use it. Back in olden times (before Check 21) they literally drove semi trucks full of...

    Electric bill up 200% anyone?

    200% is mathematically correct. The entire 2023 bill and payment history is gone from my online account, and their office was full of people with the same problem. I heard from one who's bill was 21,000 - way overboard. Also, as I understand the only way to get the right amount is to go to their...

    Electric bill up 200% anyone?

    My wife went into their office and they straightened it out. Sounds like a computer problem to me.

    Electric bill up 200% anyone?

    I went to pay the electric bill and it's now 200% higher than ever. I've heard from another person the same thing happened. They claim there is an unpaid bill and there's excessive usage. I have all the bills and receipts and the new story is that there must be something wrong with the meter...

    Earthquake at 7:11

    looks like good advice. Also, Tsunamis are possible, just something to keep in mind: the 2004 Indonesia Tsunami was caused by a 9.1 earthquake, waves came inland about 3 miles. Hopefully it never does happen, but It's always good to have an idea of what can happen.

    Earthquake at 7:11

    Just in case people don't know, not supposed to try to run out of the building. I noticed some people doing that here this morning. Less likely to get hurt by staying were you are and taking cover. Glass windows can create shards of glass like daggers flying through the room. Also pools can...

    Earthquake at 7:11

    Rattled the building here in Santo Domingo Oeste, maybe 10 to 15 seconds. in two waves. I made sure everyone was up and ready to move if it got bad. I'm used to earthquakes from living in California, this one wasn't particularly alarming, but you never know when it's going to be a 7 or even a 9...

    New Dominican Beer: República La Tuya

    So it's Anheuser/AmBev I always thought Presidente was originally a Dominican beer. Guess Charles Wanzer was like a snowbird :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervecer%C3%ADa_Nacional_Dominicana

    Tips for Newcomers

    A few things, what do you mean by "Windows in the D.R. is almost always illegal". I think that used to be true decades ago and I had a client in Los Angles who bought windows cd's for like a buck 50 somewhere and they were all in Spanish. But in 2023, just buy a key on ebay or another license...

    New Dominican Beer: República La Tuya

    I haven't seen it. I don't mind trying it though. Is it another Anheuser-Busch or Heineken product? Or an independent trying to make something happen. That's great the search sources dr1.com, after Wikipedia.

    Few questions on DR Dating Scene & 3 Date Rule.

    As I recall I had to be listed on my daughter's Dominican birth certificate, and the powers that be won't list the father without a marriage certificate. Since we were married in California, the marriage certificate had to be notarized and apostilled and officially translated and legalized in...

    SENASA Coverage Expansion

    SeNaSa replied to me and I can fill out a reimbursement form and they will do an investigation. In my opinion the Doctor signed up as an affiliate and is listed in their referral network. If he doesn't want to accept the insurance he shouldn't be getting referrals. He is listed as a private...
