Why are you so upset? There's a limit of $200 per person per day. If you were asking for more they could have just told you that's the maximum amount you can get and tell you to have a nice day..

I would never in this lifetime or the next give anybody anywhere that amount authority over me, & I personally would NEVER comply wit dem kinda dotish requests. if you want to comply wit dem kinda dotishness & then grumble on tuner, daz your bidniz. I eh made that way, .

who doh like it, hadda learn to live with it

[Country_Bookie]

They ask to see your travel documents because every tom, dick and harrylal can come in and say they travelling and need US$. This way the ppl that actually going abroad and need USD to use can get it. As opposed to ppl who not leaving TT but want the USD to hoard so it'll be worth more the more it devalues. Of course they doh realize that the more of it they demand, the more the exchange rate depreciates.

All true. Unfortunately..the Big Bank cartel of T&T runs the show. Thats the reality.

Their perspective iz: they not there 2 serve u...u are there 2 serve dem...

Smart ppl will understand thiz & move accordingly...

If you ever see how the Chinese that now reach here does buy USD, you would see where the real problem begins.
One man come to the bank to find out if it have, then he will send 30 ppl to buy and he just collect it from them. And all of it just going in a envelope straight back to China. Guyanese Jamaican and many other small islanders doing the exact same thing.

What the banks need to start doing besides this bs limit dotishness is that if ppl come to buy USD and they are not a national of T&T don't sell them it. That would effectively put a stop to foreigners draining our foreign exchange for reasons that have nothing to do with building our nation.

That sounds like a good idea. I've heard Venezuelans line up at the US atm by trotters before 5am to withdraw the $200 and come back the next day to do the same thing.

Level sufferer beatup in here the bank has to ask those questions as part of the anti money laundering requirements by central bank and the us goverment.

[88sins]

They could ask all they want, aint no law could make me answer.
And I will still get what I want when I want it.

SR, I understand the bank need to ask certain questions in accordance with following the law. But i not entertaining nobody asking me about where I going and when and to provide evidence of this.

Suppose yuh tell them what they want an show them tuh ticket. They now know when u ain't home, they know where you live, and they know your financial status. Next ting u come back from wherever &discover comebody clean out yuh house and take dong to d paint off d wall. Is only then yuh go regret being bs compliant and idiot tolerant.
As far as i concerned that is simply too much personal and critical information for people I do not know to have about me.

[bluesclues]

All this beatup for usd and that dollar so fragile right now. If u ask me all this may just be banking cartel conspiracy to jack up the local exchange rate before the flop. Its a bubble... let me say it again, its a bubble. So there is 2 reasons why they could be rationing if we think along those lines...

A. To jack up the exchange rate and make as much extra dollars before the fall
B. To manage/ration usd in small amounts in the country so that when the usd does fall the country's usd investment wont take such a large hit.

i thank jah for showing me d light and making sure i am not in need in these times.. heck i dont even need the bank and i can do business and make purchases anywhere in the world. From my perspective i see banks becoming obsolete. This may be why they tantalaying so much.. but basically any bank holding a tonne of usd when usd crash will take a serious hit and may not recover.. enter 'taxpayer bailout' rhetoric. So they are playing it safe because every decent economist can tell u the usd is in massive bubble territory for overly longer than should even be expected to be sustainable and basically only managing to maintain its credit because of its proclaimed military might.

At some point that box cart must fall apart. Usa is becoming a country that losing out on investors now because ppl are leaving rather than going there to live. Its not a nice country to visit or be in anymore. I wouldnt even take a flight that stops in usa on the way to somewhere else today. There is no way that usd is going to sustain this value.. the rising cost of usd in trinidad is artificial. The banks basically passing on the risk to u the consumer who tusty for usd.
