ATMs in Bali
Bali is stacked with ATM machines which is good for the local economy and good for tourists. The days of visiting banks and money changers, spending half an hour filling out forms to get $20 are over. Now whether you are in Kuta, Denpasar, Lovina or Nusa Dua, you can access your cash 24/7. As globalization spreads, efficient ways of doing things become the norm. Bank cards issued overseas that have the Star, Cirrus, Maestro, etc. symbols will be able to access the ATMs of local banks.

What your money will buy in Bali?
A look through BootsnAll’s currency converter, shows the rupiah has gained against the US dollar over the few months, and that anyone with Euro’s is a happy camper. The best strategy for saving money in Bali, is to price shop for everything, and start to ‘think in rupiah’, rather than saying ‘this meal is cheap, it only cost $20 for the 2 of us’.

One factor that will affect your time in Bali, is the rate of exchange. Let’s face it, us blue collar folks love acting like Donald Trump once a year in Bali, ordering the pretty waitresses around, and feeling the Bintang, to make sure its cold enough (as if we’ve got a clue!).
