I was just looking at my Canadian account and see that Scotia is promoting Western Union WireTransfers.

You send money to yourself in RD from Canada - max $999 daily.

I tested a $950 send and would be charged $18.50 for it at an exchange rate of 39.62..... fractionally less than the ATM rate.
You can send/pickup in DRP or Cdn or US currencies.


This may be old news to some - but was new to me.
Hope it's useful

I e-wire money directly from my RBC account to my BHD account. Maximum allowed per day is $2500 U.S. including the fee. Royal bank charges me $13 and BHD charges me $7, so $20 total, all in $US.
