I have done my dr1 searchs and do not see this topic discussed within the last few years.

My Dominican husband and I are starting a small business, while still living mostly in the US. One of my considerations is at which bank to establish a bank account. Does Citibank have individuals accounts? Is the Bank of America/Scotia relationship of any help?


Important to me:
Ease of funds transfer - are they going to sit on my $10K wire for weeks??

On-line access.

Above - average customer service. It shouldn't matter that we are in California, but I cannot visit the bank manager at Banco Popular in NY if there is a problem.


Thank you for sharing your recommends (or be sure to avoids)!!

Personally very happy with banco popular. Transfer from Europe takes around 2 to 3 working days... no fees on this end.

Their online system works fine, but probably is not as secure as i am used to in Europe.

Once you get a relationship with the local branch people, the service is excellent.
