June 15, 2010 - Mexico has implemented new banking regulations regarding USD currency.
Mexican banks can exchange USD currency for non-customers [persons without a valid bank account, i.e.: tourist] but many banks have recently applied restrictions allowing only customers to exchange USD currency to pesos. Banks are limiting the amount an individual customer can exchange on a monthly basis forcing some Mexican vendors to stop accepting USD. These vendors will only accept payment in pesos. ATMs dispense pesos. Money exchange stores [casa de cambio] are still offering USD exchange services. This could change at any time. Exchange your currency before you leave for Mexico taking Mexican Pesos only with you or be prepared to use ATMs. |
Banks in Playa del Carmen are pretty well the same as banks anywhere. Line-ups may be longer.
Things to know are:
AND like Playa del Carmen some banks will not accept Travelers Checks and the ATMs can run out of money later in the day.
Note to Canadians...
There can be a fee up to $3.00 cad per transaction to access the PLUS system (it depends on your banking plan). It can get costly to make small withdrawls if your plan does not cover PLUS fees.
