Banking in DR

I believe they only have USD and Peso accounts.

Bob K

Agreed. I dont know any bank that has Canadian dollar accounts.

Stan. you can send Canuck bucks. They will be converted into Pesos.
Not sure my comment helps.

Thanks all for the info. I thought that this would be the case, just wanted confirmation.

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

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

Yes Bob, have a coffee and connect the dots. Being a Canadian who has now made DR my country of residence for ___ _______ and is now working (not a resident of) in Mexico. Working for a Canadian company (CND $) sending my pay to ???. 

Just send it to your account here and it will.convert.

Yep all, as usual, is much clearer with another cup of coffee
