Transferring in USD instead of Local Currency when country supports both

luisalvarado

Hi, I am currently living in Costa Rica which is a country that support on all of their banks both currencies, the local one which is Colones (CRC) and the $ Dollar (USD). When I go to check in what currency I will receive a bank transfer it says CRC, but my account in the bank is in USD. What do I need to do to make sure that, from my Payoneer which is in USD to my Costa Rican Bank Account (Which is also in USD), the transfer is made in USD. Thank you.

If you are working with a website offers bank transfer payments through Payoneer, you need to contact Payoneer support and ask if the option to transfer the funds in USD is supported. If it is the team will assist you in setting up the transfer in USD to your USD bank account in Costa Rica.

Keep in mind that if this option is supported, the transfer type used will be a wire and additional fees may apply. It is recommended you ask the support representative what fees you may incur when making such a request.
