Can anyone tell me where I can get the best exchange on US travellers checks. I got 19.65RD to the US$ last week at the bank.

Banks are not the best place to change money. Look for a branch of Vimenca, they are all over, and their rates are always very competitive. If you tell us what area you are in, someone may be able to provide additional info. But a branch of Vimenca is always a good choice.

Don't know, have never heard them mentioned as a place to change money. But there have been posts recommending Vimenca in Santo Domingo.

Money Changer in SD

Hi everybody here,

10 yrs I come in SD and everytime I change I go in Vimenca in lincoln avenue.sometimes I buy, sometimes I sell, for business purposes.

sometimes you can get a very sligtly better rates in small money changers but the difference (something like 5 pesos for 100 Us) is not worth the fuss, in my opinion.

I have changed for over a year at Vimenca in SD and have never had a problem. In my estimation, they are one of the best-run businesses in the country.
