Is BHD the name of the bank ?? Do you know what the initials stand for ?
No I am looking to sack some money away there because I am planning on buying a property.
OK..
Now I am just going to warn you.
For the RECORD.
That if you are planning on stashing some money here in order to buy property and putting it in a dollar account.. ok, no worries. At least I would have no worries putting it in one of the major banks here.
BUT I would have a worry putting a substantial amount of money in an account and then giving an access card to my Dominican friend.. (hey, I would have the same reservations about ANY friend!)
Because when I returned for the next trip, the money might not be there. Because her uncle, or brother or someone might have found this really good deal on a piece of land.. blah blah blah.. really...
So perhaps the other really mean and nasty posters on DR1 want to jump on you or perhaps one warning is enough.
If you were just sending someone enough money for living expenses, that is one thing. But to be putting something with six figures -- US -- which will be in the millions in Dominican system.. Now THAT is REALLY ASKING for trouble.
Just imagine if someone left you with a bank card for a joint account with a couple of million DOLLARS in it? And they were not even in the country?
WHY put her in such a position?
(And wow, that must be a rico, no? because this is just money on the side, money that he would not miss, right?)
