Banking Guide
If you are considering a property purchase in the Dominican Republic, knowledge of the banking system will help you on your way.
The government is keen to attract foreign investment and this is evident in the number of incentives banks offer clients. These include tax-free bank account interest and zero tax on company profits for relocating overseas companies. An added benefit is that information relating to your personal banking situation is not proactively disclosed by the Dominican Republic.
Local currency (DOP) can easily be withdrawn over the counter or at cash point machines (ATMs) all over the country. Please note that ATMs only dispense DOP. If you require US Dollars, they will need to be purchased at exchange offices which charge high rates for the privilege. You are well advised to deal in Pesos or bring enough Dollars for your trip.
You may wish to arrange mortgage finance in the Dominican Republic and up to 80% can be obtained by foreigners, in either local currency, USD, GBP or CND.
