Banking in DR

StanR

Is it possible to open a account with Santa Cruz bank in Canadian dollars. I am in Canada now and cannot reach the bank to ask. I have a account with that bank but a US dollars account and Peso account.
Thanks

Stan, why not just have a Scotiabank accnt in canada, and withdraw here, with no charge?

StanR

Actually I already have a Scotia acct in Canada. The issue I have is I will be  working in Mexico and I want to avoid sending my pay to a Canadian bank.

Maybe I am missing something here (very possible at my age) but I don't understand why an account here if you are in Mexico.  You do know the pesos in Mexico is a different currency then the Peso here?  Maybe I need more coffee :D
