CurrencyFlow rates are for budgeting and comparison, not guaranteed bank, card or exchange-counter quotes.
Cash is useful for markets, small shops and some transport, while stored-value payments are common.
Cards and contactless payments are widely accepted in malls, hotels and restaurants.
Contactless and mobile-wallet acceptance depends on the merchant, network and device.
ATMs are widely available; issuer and operator fees should be checked.
If an ATM or terminal offers conversion into your home currency, compare the disclosed rate and fees with paying in the local currency before accepting.
A service charge may be included in restaurants; additional tipping is discretionary.
Before travel, notify the card issuer when necessary, check foreign-transaction and ATM fees, and keep a backup payment method.
Airport exchange counters can be convenient but may use wider spreads or additional charges.
