- Foreign Exchange
- Major currencies can be exchanged in
most banks, money changers and hotels. There is often a different rate for any notes
smaller than US$100 and this applies to most currencies. If cashing Travelers checks you
will require your passport.
-
- Banks and Money Changers can easily be
found in the larger towns in Bali, but you should carry sufficient rupiah (Rp) when
traveling to the less popular areas of Bali.
-
- Banking hours are from 8.00 a.m. to
12.00 noon Mondays to Fridays, and from 8.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. on Saturdays. Banks in
hotels usually stay open longer while Money Changers are generally open until early
evening.
-
- Almost all hotels and other businesses
will accept foreign currency, but be warned hotels usually charge a lower rate of exchange
than offered by Banks or Money Changers.
-
- There is a bank and ATM
machine located at the Ngurah Rai International Airport.
-
- 'Exchange' Tips
- If you want to change money or
traveler's checks at a moneychanger:
- 1 Make sure you calculate the rate
yourself.
- 2 Check to see whether there
is a commission fee.
- 3. Count the money yourself. You
will be surprized how many money changers are also good 'magicians'.
Note: If possible try to use an
Authorized Money Changer.
