US Bank Branches in DR???

[riravaga]

Also here in DR, if you are going to deposit or transfer more than USD$ 10,000.00 or the equivalence in RD$ you have fill a paper telling how you got the money, I worked for a medium factory and when we went to the bank to make the deposit for the payroll we had to fill that paper.

I found out there's a Citibank in SD. So I called Citibank in US [I have a couple of their credit cards but no checking or savings] and I was shocked to find out that :

If we open an account in US, and go to the branch in DR, we have to pay a 3% fee on any withdrawals of our own money from our own accounts. I asked the rep to double check that, because it sounded outrageous to me. They put me on hold and came back and said it was true, because it's an international transaction.

Anyone experience this? Or did I just reach someone who didn't know what he was talking about. He did sound about 12.

Geesh.

When I was in Caracas,Citibank did not charged me anything,maybe because the exchange rate is horrible there
