Just heard the the Scotia Bank in Sosua is closed.
Can't find the link at the moment but can anyone one the ground confirm?
Thanks.

When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
Your opinions are not my problem...
Yes confirmed it has closed. Cabarete branch still open.
It's unusual for one of my Canadian banks to close like that.
Not sure wusup but there were plenty of times the ATM had no money...

What is the current exchange rate now in the DR? Who is offering the best rate in sosua?
I used the Scotia ATM almost every day on my last 3 week trip and only once was it out of money. I just read on DR1 that they are leaving the ATM in Sosua. This is good news for me as last year I switched to Scotia Bank in Canada mainly so I could withdraw money in Sosua without charges during the 3 months a year I spend there.

I don't see anything in news or on the website. Would anyone in DR ask for a response here:

For a confirmation of a closure. Is it temporary or permanent? What will happen to clients files, will they get assigned to Cabarete or Puerto Plata branches? Is there any correspondence sent to clients? All general FAQ. Again, their website has nothing on this change. I've got some interest in the branch being there, also it means something to gauge what's going on in town.
There was a sign on the ATM a couple of weeks ago that said the branch was closing and that it would be absorbed into the Cabarete branch. I assume all accounts and files will be transferred to there. I think it was the least busy bank in town, probably due to its location and size.
The Cabarete branch was recently renovated...
The Bank of Nova Scotia in Canada and the International Division are different entities, no problems with insuring accounts etc. They have the same name but are individual.
That was the only bank I used. My Bank of America card would get rejected at most banks, including Banco Popular. I guess I will be taking more cash than usual my next trip.
Confirmed the branch is closed. Clients move to Cabarete branch.
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.
