Last questions

Can I open a Dominican bank account completely online as a foreign non-resident?
No. Regulations from the Superintendencia de Bancos mandate in-person Enhanced Due Diligence for non-residents. This course guides you through preparing your dossier and booking your in-branch appointment correctly.
Will I get paper checks for my US dollar account?
Dominican banks issue personal checkbooks exclusively for Dominican peso accounts. US dollar accounts function as electronic savings balances, which you can link directly to your peso checking account.

  • Route international SWIFT transfers through US intermediary banks without triggering unexpected account freezes
