VISA/Mastercard Payments

Curious how folks are making payments (other than utilization of US banks) on their US based credit cards. Seems this is a near impossibility with the Belize banking system.

I have long used the free service provided for anyone by Atlantic Bank.

One does NOT need an account with Atlantic Bank.

I use American bank issued credit cards that have no international fee to pay my utility and Smart Home Internet bills each month.


Here is a link to a video tutorial on how to use the service.

If you have enough money a good Citibank card works here (most places) with atm or credit cards. If you get the right account there are no foreign fees. Pay bills online.  The hassle is cash- you need it for certain laborers, stores, and produce markets. My question is how do people move cash without a hard hit? Yes, I know we can travel with a certain amount but are there other options?

What do you mean by "move cash without a hard hit"?

TY. I believe I phrased the question poorly. My inquiry regards payments on US credit card debt w/o using US bankinging.

Still not sure of what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to send BZD to a US bank.

None of the online transfer sites I looked at would  do it.


Examples:


I did not check Western Union


About a decade ago, after retuning to the US from Belize, I tried to exchange BZD at the Exchange booth of a large US International airport. They could not do it.  Let us know if you find a way. Good luck!
