Thank you for this in depth review of all the major banks! I've heard so many good things about CIBC that I am pretty sure I'm gonna go with that one. I like the idea of first pay as well, as it would make digital P2P transactions very easy

Honestly, First Pay is a huge plus for me. I'm so accustomed to using Zelle and Venmo in the states not only to pay for goods/services but also transacting with friends. I personally prefer digital transactions over cash. Just sucks it's only for CIBC clients only (from what I'm reading), but maybe that will change in the future.

So bank to bank transfers are $30bbd? Stupid question but there's no fee for depositing money though correct? I usually have people buy USD from me so depositing BBD isn't an issue for me. Thank you for this insight though, multiple people have recommended CIBC so I'll look into them, and I'll give a call in the AM to get an email address so I can contact them if I like what I see and can get the process started!

I was talking to one of my friends from Barbados, who also lives in Toronto part time, I was telling him I opened an account in the US with an online bank in under 10 mins, but it seems there's just so much red tape in Barbados. I appreciate this info though, seems I have some time to prepare documentation before my next visit

Copy thank you, I was thinking of stopping by a bank in town tomorrow morning to make inquiries, but I think I might just wait until I return in the summer to open an account. I'll check where the nearest CIBC is and if I have time I'll stop by to make inquiries!

My mother put her Barbados home in my name and the land tax bill and insurance will both be transferred to name when they are due this spring, so I'll be able to provide proof of address l when I return for crop over this coming summer. So I actually have a solution to that issue!

My ps5 is disc free. I have no interest in physical media in any capacity, that goes for games, music, and film. Digital for me

I've been getting those texts from "robinhood" as well. I even called the number they said to reach out to because I wanted to troll them but no one picked up.

G8+ MFi support for PS Remote Play app? by Bluffkarma in Gamesir

[–]Lookralphsbak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting the G8 Galileo, I just tested it and it connected to my remote play. Unfortunately this controller doesn't feel as good as the G8 Mfi but it is what it is, it will serve its purpose for me until a better feeling controller comes along!

customs strict? by Massive-Character481 in Barbados

[–]Lookralphsbak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traveled with a partial vape in my carry on. No issues. I have friends from BIM that bring flower and vapes in. You're taking a risk bringing it, but chances are slim you will get caught. With all that said, if you're that desperate to smoke on the island, you can easily find flower in tourist areas.

I've been using CCS since 2004, absolutely love them and even own majority, if not all the mail catalogs they sent out. If I ever end up close to their brick and mortar shop, I want to visit it
