Any Banks with ATM machines that give out green U.S. dollars instead of D-R pesos ?
I want to use my U.S. Debit-Card.
You can use your debit card just notify your bank you will be using your card in DR so you will have no problems.Any Banks with ATM machines that give out green U.S. dollars instead of D-R pesos ?

You missed the point. He wants an ATM which dispenses dollars.You can use your debit card just notify your bank you will be using your card in DR so you will have no problems.

Not totally true. You can get dollars from ATMs in Panama, Equador and El Salvador as the US dollar is their official currencies.Can you get anything other than $US from an ATM in the USA. Why would you EXPECT to get $US from an ATM in a foreign country?
Mind you, I discovered that wiring over the money is by far the cheapest solution. I pay about 10$ for wiring 2,500$ from my Belgian bank to BP here, and it takes between 2 and 3 working days.

Different story, it's not the official currency in the DR.Not totally true. You can get dollars from ATMs in Panama, Equador and El Salvador as the US dollar is their official currencies.
But, how much do you lose by exchanging money?
Not too sure about this. I can use my European Maestro/Mastercard debit-card in every ATM and get pesos. They will not accept it at the teller in the bank to get cash. There they tell me I need a CC for that.

If you set up a US dollar account in one of the DR banks, you can wire money from a US dollar account from the US to that account here for certain. As mentioned it takes several days to be available. If you have a bank account outside of the DR in another currency other than US dollars, I am not certain how the wiring of the money will work, but I expect there is a way to have it show up as US dollars (or DR pesos if you have a DR peso account in the DR). I would expect there would be FOREX fees along with the wire transfer costs.And by this method do you get U.S. dollars in the Dominican-Republic, or is it automatically converted to D-R pesos ?
