    Is it down to 10k now? I have always been able to withdraw 30k at a time.

    For now the reliable ATM option is Progreso's ATM near Super Super. 10K DOP withdrawal with a receipt for a 120 peso ATM fee.

    Reminder: Bank Popular ATM is set to dispense cash from foreign accounts when one chooses 'Savings' option. Money still has to be drawn on your chequing one.

    I misled you in a way. On weekends when BNS was limited to 5K Progreso was not. I never pulled there more than 10K at once in one transaction. So I don't know the maximum there.

    Thanks for the info on Banco Popular. Might there also be a secret to using the Banco Progreso ATM? My B of A card gets rejected there. As to the max at that machine in the past it was 15000 pesos. Don't ever remember it being 30k

    I just checked my bank statement and see I used the Scotia Bank ATM (Presdro Clisante) various times between 10-25 and 10-26. Is the bank closed but the ATM still operating?

    Bank is closed but ATM is still working as of last week. I tried using my Bank of AMerica card on there, but got denied twice trying to pull too much money out at once, and was not able to verify if there is no transaction fees for BOA customers. There are 2 other ATMs in the area aswell.

    ATM on PC is now gone.. The sign claims it was moved to the gas station but I have yet to see it. Fastest is the one in cabarete but you may want to go early AM.. Traffic is a bitch with all the construction during the day.

    I believe you should avoid Scotia/Metro Bus. I think my debit card identity was stolen there. They got cash in Puerto Plata. My bank will refund $1000, but there will be much hassle receiving a new card. A friend had his car ''eaten''. They told him to return in 5 days !

    You might want to try the ATM at Rocky's. It cannot eat your car(d) since you swipe it and not insert it, and it' s a US based ATM. You receive US cash as well.

    Wow. This must be new. Then again, it's been 3 years since I've been to Rocky's.

    This is just another reason to frequent the place. Thanks for the info.

    Question. Is this ATM associated with a US bank? And if so, which one?

    I'll have to leave this one for Rick as I'm not sure of the bank, but it is a US based ATM and you do get USD from Rick.
