USA issued ATM highst DR Limits
I've moved some money to Schwab and will try to internationally wire it from there to the DR as you've mentioned that perhaps the service is free - will post my findings soon
From what I understand, it is only free from the Schwab brokerage account, but good luck. maybe it's free from Schwab Bank, also.
The only possibilities I can think of are:
1. You're using a VPN
2. You're using a different device from when you originally registered.
3. Something in your original profile has changed. Maybe the debit card you initially registered has expired(?). New phone number or email address(?).
I understood you correctly from the start - I do have both, brokerage and checking with Schwab.
Some of my info with WU has changed over the years but that should have not triggered such responses, after all, I've linked all my bank accounts with them using their own system by means of username and password
What bank in DR did you try your BoA card at? Scotia Bank is where you would need to try.
Shwab is the way to go - only $15.00 fee for international wire for money coming out of my brokerage account
Thanks for the suggestion, its appreciated but my money grows much faster here in the DR
This is old thread,but in zo,na colonial there is a atm machine from a savings and loan that will allow up to your card limit,I have taken as much as 80000 for 15 0 pesos
Not sure about the fees or exchange rate, but I deposit a big surplus into my credit card and can withdraw large amounts out of it from a teller at Santa Cruz Bank. Works great for people like me who are concerned about ATM fraud.
I am a Scotiabank customer but Scotiabank in the DR doesn't let me even talk to a teller there.

That is because Scotiabank in the DR is a different bank than the one in Canada, both owned by the same umbrella company. Same for all DR banks that might somehow be related to banks in other countries, they all have separate rules.
I had never heard of depositing money into a credit card account for removal at a teller in the DR. How does that work exactly?
Not a targeted investment, rather personal hustle tied to accommodating situations - there are many windows of opportunities in this country
I'm assuming that you overpay your CC account creating a surplus and then do a cash advanced by withdrawing the over payment from an ATM here?
May I add that your bank here in the DR possibly would add a fee to receive the wire as well, shouldn't be more than $10 to $15 UDS - I was charged $15 at Schwab and $15 at the receiving bank in the DR; total of $30 USD for the wire
Overpay my credit card in Canada before my trip, then go to a teller at Santa Cruz and withdraw(100,000 peso limit I think) from the credit card.
I also travel with 2 different debit cards just in case.
