Well how does he make one cent? If he gives you the dollar value and charges you nothing does not sound right to me.................He must charge something for his work...........

Best Way to Move Funds From US to DR Bank
This will cost you a lot in the long run. Banks give the worst exchange rates compared to Cambios. Dollar is King here. Every time you send dollars you will get less pesos than you can get in Cambios...
Usually no, but the rate is where they make money. And when you buy her that house you will have to pay in US Dollars............
I can see the logic of that since the banks have no control over the value of the peso from the instant they take it from you until it clears. But there must be a way to have this exchange happen so that there is no risk to you in a fall of the peso. Perhaps Fabio would give some advise in the legal forum?
Hahaha, he’s got 5 siblings who all have peso accounts, I don’t think that’s an option.
Let me get this straight.. I can go to a casa de cambio and give him my personal US check, with nothing more than my passport, and he is going to cash it for me in either dollars or pesos without further investigation.
Ken, so all this does not have to be repeated and repeated...your best course of action is to develop a relationship with a casa de cambio. Yes, they will take a check and cash it for you with your passport, but the keyword here is to develop a relationship with one. Most all of us have done this at one time or another, that includes relationships with banks, etc...
OK Kevin... Of course I read your message. But it appears that JD cashed $9500 at a casa and that seems like an awful large sum
If I just arrive from the states how would I develop a relationship with a Casa... do I bring him a six pack
Just do the same thing you did with your gf. Lots of prolonged eye contact, big tips, a furtive exchange of e-mail addresses, etc. You should be all set.
Otherwise, just liquidate your assets and send all the cash to your chica via Western Union which is going to be the end result anyway.
LOL.. Mi fren you don't know JD. That man carries 10 large around in his pocket every week. Of course he's packing but that's another part of the culture you'll learn.
WOW. I would hate to cross you up. LOL. You tell it like it is. Luv it.
i have a permit... I will bring my glock 19 with me
