Get a Schwab or Capital One 360 account, I get full crc sell price and all fees paid when withdrawing colones at atm's here.
Buying CRC but getting the sell price... I'm confused. Usually if you buy you get a few less colones than the mid market rate, and when you reverse that and sell your colones it takes more to buy the USD. Unless you are referring to the selling and buying of the US dollar..?[/quote]
Sell price of crc (Costa Rica Colones) is always higher.
https://gee.bccr.fi.cr/indicadoresecono ... dro=%20400I keep my Costa Rica planned expenditures in these two accounts and just withdraw colones from any ATM and always get the higher (sell) rate. I don't interact with any of the banks here except using their ATM's.[/quote]
That's great. I see the rates on the linked site, and that makes sense. If you are selling colones and buying dollars it takes more colones to buy a dollar than the other way around. If you can buy colones (when you change dollars into colones) for the sell rate you are doing very very good.
