Good afternoon, I need to send cash to my USA bank account. Is western union the only option?

@LT American Deposit into CashApp and then send to your linked bank account. Zelle may be another option. Good luck.

I have not had the need to do this while living in the DR but my USA banks have apps that allow me to deposit checks online. If I needed to deposit money from my Dominican Republic bank account in Dollars I could deposit by scanning pic of check with phone. I'm not aware of any bank in Dominican Republic that has that type of app but it would be great and avoid going to bank physically.

@Alfonso Ayala thanks. But when I say cash, I mean paper money in my pocket that needs to go to my USA account

Puerto Plata

Safest for what???  Using the ATM?  Parking?  Leaving your money on deposit?

Safest bank to use where my money is safe.

Any of the big ones. Banreservas, Banco Popular, Scotiabank, BHDLeon

And Santacruz

From what I've read, Dominican banks are safer than US banks.

@Tchieffo2014

What exactly are you worried about. 🤷‍♂️

Just an FYI to everyone recommending Remitly - it's a great service for sending money TO the DR, but it CANNOT be used to send money OUT of the DR, to the US or anywhere else.

If you have a Dominican account you can transfer the money directly to your U.S. account.  Depending on the bank, you can use the online website, or the computer at the bank.
