Caribe Express Dominican Republic is where most families go: 184 branches spread across every province, including spots your grandmother already knows by name. If you are in the United States and need to send money home, ShareMoney connects you directly to Caribe Express Dominican Republic in minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dominican Republic received $11.2 billion in remittances in 2024, close to 9% of the country&#8217;s entire GDP. That money pays for rent, medications, school supplies, and the quincea\u00f1era that got postponed twice. Caribe Express is how a lot of that cash actually reaches people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Caribe Express in the Dominican Republic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/caribeexpress.com.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caribeexpress.com.do<\/a> started as House of Change National, S.A. back in 1997 and has become the most widely recognized cash pickup name in the country. Today, Caribe Express Dominican Republic runs 184 branches nationwide, with a mobile app that shows which locations are open right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most branches operate weekdays 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with longer hours at supermarket locations. On Sundays, many stay open until 2 to 4 p.m. If your relative does not want to make the trip, Caribe Express also offers free nationwide home delivery. They just need to call 809-221-5418 to set it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Older family members and people in smaller towns tend to prefer Caribe Express for a simple reason: no bank account needed, no app to figure out. They show their ID, collect the pesos, and leave. That is the whole process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Send Money to Caribe Express Dominican Republic with ShareMoney<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending through ShareMoney to a Caribe Express location takes under five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1.<\/strong> Download the ShareMoney app from the App Store or Google Play and create your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2.<\/strong> Select Dominican Republic as your destination and choose <strong>Cash Pickup<\/strong> as the delivery method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3.<\/strong> Select <strong>Caribe Express<\/strong> from the list of pickup partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4.<\/strong> Enter your recipient&#8217;s full name exactly as it appears on their ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5.<\/strong> Enter the amount and complete your payment with a debit card, credit card, or bank account (ACH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6.<\/strong> Share the confirmation with your recipient so they can collect at any Caribe Express Dominican Republic branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your recipient gets notified when funds are ready, usually within minutes.

Santo Domingo, Santiago, La Vega, San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, Puerto Plata, and towns throughout the interior all have branches close by. The Caribe Express RD mobile app has a map showing real-time hours, which helps when your family is figuring out which branch to go to on a Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head office sits at Av. 27 de Febrero esq. Leopoldo Navarro in Santo Domingo. For most families, though, it is the branch inside the neighborhood supermarket that they actually use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1376\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/familia-dominicana-recibiendo-dinero-caribe-express.webp\" alt=\"dominican family receiving money at caribe express dominican republic\" class=\"wp-image-1894\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/familia-dominicana-recibiendo-dinero-caribe-express.webp 1376w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/familia-dominicana-recibiendo-dinero-caribe-express-300x167.webp 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/familia-dominicana-recibiendo-dinero-caribe-express-1024x572.webp 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/familia-dominicana-recibiendo-dinero-caribe-express-768x429.webp 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/familia-dominicana-recibiendo-dinero-caribe-express-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1376px) 100vw, 1376px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why ShareMoney Works Well for Caribe Express Dominican Republic Transfers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your first transfer is free.<\/strong> New ShareMoney users send their first transfer up to $500 with no commission and a rate above the standard exchange. This applies to debit card payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What the app shows is what your family gets.<\/strong> ShareMoney displays the exchange rate, the fee, and the exact peso amount before you confirm. No adjustments after the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The 1% federal remittance tax does not apply here.<\/strong> A federal tax on remittances took effect in January 2026. It hits transfers paid in cash, check, or money order. Digital payments through ShareMoney with a debit card, credit card, or bank account are fully exempt. On a $500 transfer, that is a $5 difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transfers arrive in minutes.<\/strong> Once your payment clears, your recipient can usually pick up at any Caribe Express Dominican Republic branch within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support in Spanish, 24 hours a day.<\/strong> Real people, not a recorded menu.
