The Best Bank in the DR & Caribbean
Lineups are too long. Service is rhe same if not poorer than BHD. I seem to get good service regardless of which bank I use, but I find the tellers at Popular the friendiest.
Looks great until you look up the group that made the award and realize it's owned by an affiliate they paid.
Worthless Award given by a "Rating Shop" ! Best Bank in the DR by Far is BHD and the worst is Popular.
BanReservas is, by far, one of the most corrupt institutions in the D.R.
All money figures are in US dollars.

Could this be another case of DR1ers not knowing what they are talking about?

Reminds me of what this Dominican in the Dominican private equity sector said not too long ago regarding this impression of Dominican professionals after returning to the DR from the USA and meeting some.
Hmm, seems what he thought 9
of Dominican professionals in the public sector before and after getting to know them from experience are two different things. From the loos of things, he wasn’t expecting that outside the Dominican private sector.
Something tells me that a good chunk or most DR1ers think like he did of Dominican professionals before meeting them in person.

I'm a US citizen on a tourist visa and opened up dollar and peso savings accounts at Banreservas a few months ago. The accounts were opened within 30 days of entering the country. I only needed my passport and three months of bank statements which I sent to their customer service rep through email.
The exchange rate when using the dollar debit card to withdraw is favorable and I can withdraw up to $50,000 pesos per transaction at the ATM. Lines for tellers or customer service have been short as long as you don't go at the middle or end of the month and the employees have been professional. I've used their website to make transfers to pay my rent and it was relatively easy to navigate. Overall I'm very please with their service and it's much easier to move money around.

This award and recognition has a "Wag the Dog" resemblance: Caso Calamar exposed the blatant corruption at the highest level of BanReservas.
And since most Dominicans have suffered permanent damage to the hippocampus, they lack long-term memory.
Now, this recognition is the talk of the town.
I could hear the Church lady exclaim, "Well, how convenient."

I recently opened an account with Scotiabank and I think it's a good option for expats. Their IT is better than most Dominican banks, they "get" that things like apps and websites are important to their business and they have obviously had them written properly. Unlike Banco "mi amor no tengo sistema" Popular. And for English-speakers everything is presented beautifully in English as the bank's main language is English. I've also found they "get" the idea of customer service, experience in solving problems to date has been very good, they do actually call you back, they do try to solve problems, and they do see you bang on time if you have an appointment. So I'd definitely recommend them.
If Banreservas is the best bank in the Caribbean, then you should definitely keep your money out of the Caribbean.
One of my friends banks with Reservas, he's a director of a big company, earning very good money. Every month he screams that they stop him from being able to do something simple like pay his phone bill or transfer money.
Yes .
Pure Marketing IMO. Our company has been getting regular emails from such “groups” …usually trade magazines …..telling us …. “Your company was voted the best ……in Latin America….” ….and in the same email …further down ….they say “To make this recognition even more compelling, we will also provide you with the Certificate of Honor, Recognition Logo……reprint rights…” …..”…for $3,500 USD” . 😬 .
It’s like telling everyone that you are “the best “ because your chapiadora said so . 😬😩Next !.
I don't necesarly disagree with all written by above messages, but I am with BR since 2004, and I am satisfied. I have also been with Banco Mercantil, Baninter, Popular, Scotia & Santa Cruz over the years, but BR isn't worst than any of them. I do mostly everything online, no complain.
That's because dr1's bank in the DR and know what the service is like in their countries.All money figures are in US dollars.

You'd do better to compare yourself to the best.
