Caribe Express review

Transfer fees are 5% of amount sent (national), 6% (international). Because the charge is a percentage of what you send, a larger transfer carries a larger fee, with the international rate set above the national rate. The smallest listed amount is DOP 50.

Delivery is Available the same day, so the money is not held for days before the recipient sees it. Payout can go straight to a bank account or be handed over as cash at a pickup point, which helps recipients who have no account to receive into.

The agency appears in the register of the Superintendencia de Bancos de la República Dominicana, which supervises banks and remittance businesses. Its licence is recorded as Z2-006-1-00-0101, and the regulator is listed for DO.

Payout runs to bank and cash pickup. A bank transfer suits recipients who hold an account, while cash pickup covers those who do not, and the delivery listed as Available the same day means neither option adds extra waiting.

Support runs on phone and help centre, so a phone call is the direct route and a help centre handles written questions. If you are chasing a transfer that has not arrived, quote the licence Z2-006-1-00-0101 with the sender's name and the amount sent.

The service covers 3 currencies, which keeps the choice narrow. Senders who need a longer list, or who want to pay from a balance or an online wallet rather than from a bank, are better served by a broader platform such as Skrill or PayPal Colombia.

The business is registered as Agente de Cambio y Remesas Caribe Express, S. A., is based in Dominican Republic and has been working since 1979. It is a remittance agency rather than a bank, so you send a transfer for a fee instead of holding a current account or savings product with it.
