How do I set up a transfer?
You can arrange a cash pick-up to Dominican Republic in a few simple steps:
-
Enter your recipient’s details
- Full name
- Phone number
- Full address (please do not include special characters e.g. #, -)
The recipient’s name must match the name on their bank account. Banks in Dominican Republic won’t check the account number against the bank account, so please make sure all details are 100% accurate before setting up a money transfer.

Choose a pick-up location
Your recipient can collect from any branch of the following:
