you have to register at bancomer for online banking and they give you a little package with a special card for it but it works very well once you get
it set up.

Mail? They don't mail out the ATM cards here in Rosarito. You need to go to YOUR branch, pick them up and then sign-up for any online services
(which were all in Spanish last time I checked).

Thanks everybody. Next time I'm in BCS I'll stop by my branch and set it up. I was just hoping there was an easy way to set up an online account from
here in so. cal. All I want is access to my account via the internet so I can keep an eye on the little bit of money I have in this account. I don't
really need the atm card.

it's not an ATM card...it's an electronic banking card to interface with their online banking site...not for use in bank machines...maybe you can get
it UPS'ed but I doubt it...usually ya have to go to the bank.

Bancomer just plan frustrates the &%$out of me. I have inmigrado status now and have had a dollar account with them for more than 12 years and 3
fideocamisos and they tell me I have to go to the municipal building to get a proof of residence card before I can open a peso account to bank on
line. I hope for every ones sake this is a Santa Rosalia/Mulege thing. Good LUCK!

As others have mentioned, you do have to sign up in person at your branch, what no one has mentioned is that there's a $30-50 peso per mo. (I forgot
exact amount) charge for on-line service whether you activate it & use it or not. Because it's in Espanol, it makes it difficult to set up unless
you're fluent. I wasn't & ended up having a Mexican friend set it up for me, but that person & 2 others could NEVER ACCESS it...the bank
could & did...on the same day I'd reached the end of my patience & had them cancel the on-line access & turned my card back in! If you
want this to monitor a small amount of funds, it's likely the monthly fees could rapidly eat up your balance & then incur additional charges &
move you into a negative balance. So you might want to reconsider how important on-line access really is for you.

Thanks Shari. I keep forgetting this is "baja banking" we're talking about. That's ok, it gives me yet another reason to come down there. Like I need
one!

I think the easiest way is to go to any Bancomer branch and ask for a copy of your statement. That's what I do every couple months. They use to mail
out statements, Many years ago.

if its a private dollar account the minimum is $500 balance. your account will be wiped out if this is accurate. i have to pay 200 pesos plus iva
for the full use of my private peso/dollar account internet set up. i can buy pesos during exchange hours, make payments in pesos 24/7, pay my taxes
24/7, buy stuff online etc. frustrating to figure out cut once you do its worth it! with all the security issues regarding other banks I now believe
bancomer's site is very powerful and secure. you have to go to your branch, in person and with id to set this up... and you'll need a peso account
connected to that dll account for it to be available, can't just have a dollar account.

not completely true, as long as you have all of the information on the account and its FREE. if you have a peso account you can access it and look at
activity and print the statement BUT you have to authorize permission and pay for the full use of the account like making payments to third parties
etc. this is not available for dollar accounts like it is for pesos/libreton.
anyone who has a dollar account at their Mex bank should consider also opening a peso account and activating their bank's full online capabilities.
you can buy pesos when you need them...right now at 14,17:1 you will get the preferred customer exchange rate by doing this online vs walking in and
exchanging in person, and saves time too!

about the proof of residence...all mexicans have to present this proof...sometimes it can be a phone or electric bill...or the delegacion will write
you up a letter of residency you can make copies and use it for all these Tramites..it is very very common to have to present this proof.
good idea pam on the $ account
