It Seems Like The Peso Domincano
That 10,000 number pertains more to the particular ATM.
Yes, the card has limits - daily ones - but the ATM dictates how much it will spit out at a time.
Sometimes you need 2 hits to get your 10 (5+5)....my experience anyway

I tried using Zoom for an experiment. Even though they say they are part of PayPal. I have a PayPal account with my UK Lloyds debit card, my Progeso Amex debit card and my BHD debit card all registered and work fine for eBay purchases etc. However Zoom won't let me send money from a non US based source of funds.
Also FYI, i have found that the BHD online banking and mobile apps are fantastic. Better than any European bank app I have ever used. I can move money, pay bills and swap between dollars and pesos either way from my iPhone. All I need is my key card and a thumb print.

The Progreso online platform is excellent too..
much easier than anything I have encountered elsewhere.
That's one thing to be said for the RD banking........
once you're in - it works well

How much do they take from you when it sits idle ? Is this the bank that needed to know where your wealth accumulated ? You do drive an MUX after all.
My account never sits idle... I have a payroll every 2 weeks and I’m here 7-8 months a year
No not the bank asking that....that was a European bank
I remind you the MU-X is used.....

Charles Schwab here too, some atm let me get 20k but most seem to follow the 10k. Occasionally bhd doesn't work and I use Popular in those cases.
Yesterday was getting 49.2 pesos per dollar, and way easier than bringing cash and going to change house.
Would like a popular account here to pay rent more easily but they told me to get a residency visa and try again after that...[emoji29]

And really Chico
I am just one rung above Clem Kadiddlehopper on the social ladder...
WW...what I was talking about was withdrawing $2 to $3 k usd every 2 weeks, done that for several years...my debit card is from the USA government. the military...so I guess when the manager of the popular bank,were I have several accounts tells me I can withdraw from my card at his bank as long as I want well....things change here every day without warning so as long as you want is a short time...like the girls in Nam that tell you ..love you long time G.I,that is shorter than 15 minutes......Doc.........
I didn't know that little fact DOC...
I never use foreign cards... odd time a credit card... rarely
sometimes it the reports to the USA that scares them
My investment company will not accept US taxpayers...
too much oversight/reporting

Except for the banking crisis years......that seems about the average depreciation rate.
The US Federal Reserve FOMC is meeting this week and likely to hike US rates. If US rates rise, this will push the peso value down further as it edges closer to a milestone 50:1 against the dollar.

I'm thinking of buying an apartment building, just curious what the head wind is.
I guy got tired of posting the price in both dollars and pesos, so he just went to fixed peso price. I guess he figured it would eventually get cheap enough.

That was the official government rate. The casa de cambios were offering several pesos more until Hipolito put the military outside their doors. I changed at 57:1....but.our departed CCccCcc got 59 at one point.
Very short window......and then the IMF rescued the DR banking system and it went sharply the other way.

If you take home delivery in USD you will get the delivery agent Caribe Express' rate of the day, which is usually pretty good. Funny thing is that USD is the only currency that the home delivery is available in on xoom's site, but Caribe Express will change it when they deliver it. Another funny thing is that xoom won't let you get USD unless you have it delivered, but if you don't want to wait for delivery, if you have them text you with updates, you will get a transaction number that you can bring to a Caribe Express teller and show your ID to pick it up there.
It was as high as 49.80 just a week or so ago at Caribe Express, but now has dropped all the way down to 49.05.
