Pros and cons
Pros
- Backed by Banco de Reservas de la República Dominicana, a bank founded in 1941 and based in Dominican Republic, so the balance sits with an established institution.
- A debit card on the mastercard network, which means it is accepted wherever Mastercard is taken, at home and abroad.
- The account is a bank deposit rather than a prepaid balance, and the card type is debit.
Cons
- A monthly fee of DOP 20 applies, where Varo Believe and Chime Card each list $0 and $0.
- The account holds 1 currency, so it does not cover holding several currencies or converting between them.
- Support runs on email and phone only, with no live chat or community channel in the list.
Who it suits
- Readers who bank in the Dominican Republic and want a Mastercard debit card issued by a named local bank.
- People who keep spending in a single currency and do not need multi currency holding or conversion tools.
- Customers who would rather hold their balance with a bank than with an app only money provider.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want several currencies in the same account, since Wise lists a monthly fee of £0 for comparison.
- Anyone after a fee free debit account, since Varo Believe and Chime Card list $0 and $0 monthly.

Frequently asked questions
What does Banreservas Cuenta Digital cost each month?+

Who is behind the account and where is the money held?+
The account is run by Banco de Reservas de la República Dominicana, a bank founded in 1941 and based in Dominican Republic. The balance is held at the bank rather than by an app company, and no protection scheme is listed with the account details.
Which card comes with the account and can it be used abroad?+
You receive a debit card on the mastercard network, so it is accepted wherever Mastercard is taken. With 1 currency in the account, it is built for local spending rather than for holding foreign balances on a trip.
Who is this account for?+
It suits everyday spenders in the Dominican Republic who want a Mastercard debit card from a named local bank. Readers who want several currencies held at the same time are served better by Wise, which lists a monthly fee of £0.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on email and phone, which lists email and phone. There is no live chat or community channel in the set, so anyone who prefers instant messaging should weigh that before opening an account.
Is this a debit account, prepaid balance or credit card?+
It is a debit account issued by Banco de Reservas de la República Dominicana, rather than a prepaid balance or a credit card. The account carries a monthly fee of DOP 20, and support runs on email and phone.
Can I open it from another country?+
