• Additional documentation may be required from the beneficiary stating the reason for payment.
• The beneficiary must complete a request/authorization to allow their bank to exchange the foreign currency to local currency, indicating reason/destination of funds.
• The beneficiary must complete and sign a “contracto de cambio” (a contract of trade) within 30 days to identify that the funds are for the beneficiary and why they are receiving the funds.
