awhile back I was informing some on here that I had discovered that I can write checks on my bank in the USA and deposit them to my bank in the DR...BanReservas...the account is a dollar account and so I would just withdraw dollars as I needed and exchange them wherever I needed and when I needed. All was working great. I never had to pay a fee on either end for this service. And my wife in the DR could use it whenever I was here in the USA. Well, I just got a call from my wife the other day and she tells me that they will not let her withdraw anymore money from our joint account. My money is in there but she cannot touch it. They now tell her that because the money was deposited using a check...she must wait three months to touch the money (the policy was two weeks). Lucky for me....I only have her deposit six hundred at a time. Yet my money was transferred into their bank a month ago. Hopefully I will see this money again.
