The hitch? It doesn’t offer online transactions. But if you live near one of its many US retail or agent locations — more than 2,000 locations combined — that may not be a problem.

Fees, transfer minimums and exchange rates

It’s not easy to learn how much you could pay or even how much you can send online. Instead, you’ll need to visit a DolEx retail or agent location for details on the currencies you want to transfer.

Exchange rates, transfer fees, transfer minimums and transfer methods vary depending on the location.

Available countries

DolEx claims that it its combined payer networks serve more than 74 countries at more than 55,000 locations worldwide. But it appears to specialize in transfers to Latin America — including Mexico, Ecuador and Peru.

What to look out for

  • Physical locations only. DolEx isn’t an online money transfer service. To send money, you must visit a physical location.
  • Exchange rates and fees aren’t fixed. How much you’ll pay varies by DolEx retail or agent location.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Transfers to Latin American countries. DolEx specializes in transfers to Mexico and 74 other countries.

Cons

  • No online transfers. You can find more transparent services online.
  • Opaque website. Its website doesn’t contain much of the info you’ll need to send money.

Bottom line

There’s a reason you haven’t heard of DolEx: There’s just not much to work with on its site or elsewhere. If you’re comfortable online, you’ll likely find an easier option to send money to your friends and family worldwide.
