ATMs on Curaçao

Curaçao has a well-developed network of ATMs conveniently located throughout the island, making it easy for visitors to withdraw cash when needed.
Most machines dispense both Caribbean Guilders (XCG) — the local currency — and US Dollars (USD), which are both widely accepted on the island.

Locations

You’ll find ATMs in tourist areas, supermarkets, and major hotels across the island.
They are easily recognized by the “Bankomatiko” sign — the Papiamentu word for ATM.

Major banks such as Maduro & Curiel’s Bank (MCB), RBC Royal Bank, and Banco di Caribe operate reliable ATMs in many convenient locations.

Ease of Use

• Language options: Most ATMs offer multiple languages, including English, Dutch, and Papiamentu.

• Currency selection: You can choose to withdraw Caribbean Guilders (XCG) or US Dollars (USD) — both are commonly used on the island.

Fees and Charges

Keep in mind that transaction fees may apply when using a foreign debit or credit card.
The amount varies depending on your home bank and the specific ATM you use.

Safety Tips

• Protect your PIN: Always cover the keypad when entering your code.

• Choose safe locations: Use ATMs located in well-lit, busy areas, preferably at banks or major hotels.

• Check the machine: Avoid using ATMs that look damaged or have unusual attachments that could indicate skimming devices.

Payment Methods

While credit and debit cards are accepted in most restaurants, shops, and hotels, it’s a good idea to keep some cash on hand for small purchases or places that don’t accept cards.
US Dollars are widely accepted, although change is often given in Caribbean Guilders (XCG).

With this information, you’ll be able to withdraw money safely and conveniently during your stay at Curaçao Gardens.
