What Bank you trust more?
Transfering money --- that's what I like about these banks.
I used to go to the bank - stand in line, sit down and transfer US to DRP, then withdraw.
Now, I do it all from home - including paying any bill in the country.
Last week, I paid my Ilumel bill online - transfered DRP to their account, had the purchase picked up and delivered.
Piece o' Cake....
No muss, no fuss.
Certain things here are easy --certain are NOT.
Who was it here that posted something?
The hard things are easy, the easy things are hard.... and then something was impossible
I can't remember the quote but it was very applicable.

I tried to open an account at Scotia, which is my main bank in Canada. I had to go through a lot of hoops and did not have US $ account. I went to BanReservas. They took my info including copy of passport. 2 months later I have not heard anything from them. I opened an account with BHD. That was very easy and deposited about 5K US. 2-3 weeks later I did a 16K US Dollars transfer and although it cleared my bank in 2 days it took over 3 weeks to release the funds. My funds. I am still ****ed off with them and will cancel my account as soon as I finish cashing some monthly cheques. Soooo, I think CC advice to use cheques and cash them at the Casa de cambia is great… but I have canadian cheques!… so for now i use ATM at SB.
I regularly e-transfer from my RBC account in Canada to my BHD account. The only problem is that I can only transfer
2500 $US per day. It usually takes 3 days for the money to be available. I'm not completely satisfied with the service but I've never had to wait three weeks for money. I have wired more than 10,000 dollars at one time. That took seven banking days to go through.
A few of my clients have accounts with B Pop, others with BHD and one with Ban Reservas - they are all so/so. Some I have had no problems with other accounts can be annoying as you have to have some movement (even if it is only $5 going in or out) every couple of months.
I live in PC and got referred to Banco Caribe - fantastic bank, personal service, the same manager and her assistant over the last 5 years, if I have needed help they give it to me, and help me with other clients I have sent there. I love the personal service and I love it that there are not so many people visiting meaning the queues aren't too long. The CDs have had some really wonderful interest rates and I can do online banking. Suites my needs and I prefer them to either of the banks the OP mentioned.
