The Dominican Republic receives approximately USD 10 billion in annual remittances, the majority from the US. USD wires route to a Dominican bank (Banco Popular, BHD, Banreservas, Scotiabank RD) and settle via the Banco Central's LBTR (large-value real-time settlement) during its daily operating window. USD amounts are converted to Dominican pesos (DOP) at the interbank reference rate. Payments arriving after the 16:30 AST cut-off settle on the next business day. OFAC screening is applied at the US end, and the Dominican Financial Superintendency (SB) requires AML reporting for individual inward transfers above USD 10,000. SWIFT GPI has improved tracking; paste your UETR on Ohmyfin for the latest status.
Settlement path: Fedwire → BCRD LBTR. Currency pair: USD → DOP.
The three most common causes of delay on this corridor are: (1) FX conversion from USD to Dominican peso at beneficiary bank, (2) BCRD daily LBTR operating window (08:30–16:30 AST), and (3) OFAC screening, particularly for narcotics-related name matches.
If the payment has not arrived within 4 business days, ask your sending bank to file an MT199 payment enquiry citing the UETR and the holding bank's BIC shown on the Ohmyfin GPI tracker.
