Not loans. they pay suppliers directly. Local businesses never get cash in hand.

You all really think on a free floating system the big business will be put any lower down on a list?

First thing would have to happen would be the equalization of demand and supply. That will take time and average joe still will get limited amount.



It will not have any list. in a free floating system the price fluctuates with supply and demand so if you want a $100 usd you can get it if you want to pay the price at the time. The XM bank that handles the USD for the PNM friends will become obsolete and they will have to go into a regular bank to buy their USD. just like a bag of carrot, price depends on supply and demand.

If you all think thats how the world works good for you.

At no time the ppl buying big yranches of usd go to the bank to line up. That's only for us small guys. That's not going to change.

The facts are the facts the forex situation is going to worsen, do you know if you live abroad and come back to apply for pension now , your money cannot no longer be sent to a foreign bank due to the forex situation. You have to open an account down here and fight up..... carry on vote wisely

I got an increase late last year but it's on the TT side of things. Never received a notification, and I never requested it, but banking systems do this without your consent.

I wasn't aware this was coming. I just happened to make a request for an additional CC from RBL a couple of days before this and it was approved the day before this policy came into effect. Well above this $500 cap also.
