Hey everyone, my name's Eric. (I'm new here and this is my first post.)
I just purchased a home in Honduras and am looking for some advice. (Will be retiring there in a few years. My wife has a lot of family there.)
The mortgage is with Banco Ficohsa and I opened a USD account with them to debit the mortgage payments from. (I could have gotten the mortgage in HNL, but the rate would have been higher.)
Anyway, it seems that moving USD from here to my USD account with Ficohsa is more of a problem than I would have imagined. There are plenty of ways to transfer USD to an HNL account. I don't want to have to send a stupid wire transfer every month just to make the mortgage payment.
I'm here in Houston, TX, so there are money transfer agencies that might work, but I thought I'd ask the expert expats...
