Currency

Foreign currency can be converted to Dominican pesos at the BanReservas exchange booths found at airports, major hotels, commercial banks and authorized exchange houses. There are over 3,000 automatic teller machines (ATMs) located nationwide. Banking hours are 8:30am to 3pm, Monday through Friday.

Some bank branches (primarily in shopping malls or supermarkets) remain open to receive incoming flights, up to 24 hours if necessary. Travelers checks (which will require presentation of a passport) and major credit cards are widely accepted.

Cash advances are available at certain commercial banks.

Exchange rates fluctuate daily and the US dollar is the most widely transacted currency, but Euros and Canadian dollars are accepted for exchange across the nation also.
