    I will explain how I use the bank (BDO) here. I have 3 separate bank accounts: 1. A direct deposit dollar account required by the U.S. social security for my monthly auto transfer of my SSA amount. A direct account can have no ATM or checking and only I can access it. 2. I have U.S. dollar account. 3. I have a peso account with ATM and checking. I then have the option of moving my monthly social security to my dollar account or my peso account. If I see the dollar-peso exchange rate is low, I may not convert to pesos at that time. In theory this would work but I actually need to convert the monthly dollar transfer to pesos, regardless of the exchange rate, to support my family for the month, but you get the idea.

    much to my pleasure it is at 72. 85 :thumbsup: One can only Hope that this will continue:wink:

    :facepalm: Phew now this is a relief, just checked my bank and can say as a good sign the British pound is holding up:thumbsup: My UK pension came in at 70.45 peso and my smaller Private pension came in at 69.95 last Month was about the same. So there is some light at the end of the Tunnel on this at least ( For now anyway)

    JP :bag: :rolleyes:
