Western Union in Chetumal? Central Bank Says It’s Not Necessary
Joy Grant
Western Union and MoneyGram enjoy much usage in Belize as a means of sending and receiving money quickly and reliably and even cheaper. Of late there have been persistent reports that Belizeans have found a way to get around the issue of a shortage of US dollars. Some seeking U.S. currency are bypassing using local branches of these exchange services and instead directing the funds to be obtained in Chetumal, Mexico, for instance. It is an issue that is just coming to the attention of the Central Bank. Governor Grant took the opportunity to reassure Belizeans that there is no need to take your money abroad.

“I have not heard of any problem, but I certainly would never tell anyone to go and put their money across the border; we have a very secure system in Belize; this is where you should be doing your banking; but to any specifics of that, I don’t know.”
What else you expect- central. And gives everyone lots of red tape to do anything and asks personal questions they have no right to- – so you force. Haines and people to go underground morons at central bank
Maybe they are going to Chet, so they can get more than $500.00 bz at one time.
Or receive for that matter.
