The pound to Dominican peso exchange rate you’ll be given at hotels and exchange bureaux around tourist locations in the Dominican Republic might not be as competitive as the rates you’ll find at home.

If you use your British bank card to withdraw currency from ATMs in the Dominican Republic, you may get a poor exchange rate and you might be charged a fee by your bank. Also, if you use your bank card to pay for transactions in the Dominican Republic, the peso price will be exchanged for pounds every time you make a payment.

Having pesos with you means you don’t need to worry about exchange rates, transaction fees and businesses not accepting cards, so you can just get on with enjoying your holiday.
