I just received this new card from my bank with the chip and now I can barely get any money out of the ATM's here in Santo Domingo.
Before with the magnetic strip only card, I was able to take out money with Asoc. La Nacional with no problems and large amounts as well.
Now the transaction times out after going through all of the particulars and no money. Interestingly, it debits the account, but then automatically reverses the debit right away.
I was able to get some money with the card at Banreservas-before my magnetic strip card would not work at all with this bank, but now works with the chip card. However, it appears that I can only get RD$2,000 per transaction at the ATM. I tried $RD4,000 and $RD5,0000 and both timed out and no money dispensed. Crazy that I can only withdraw $RD2,000 per transaction out of this Banreservas ATM.
I will try Banco Progreso next. I called my bank (Schwab) and they said it is all on the end of the banks here in DR that are causing these problems.
