Paying by card
Whether a card is the usual way to pay here, from World Bank Global Findex surveys. It describes the country, never a particular shop or a particular card.
Cards are the usual way to pay
94% of adults hold a debit card.
- If a terminal offers to charge you in your own currency, decline and pay in the local one. The convenience rate is set by the merchant and is always worse.
- American Express and Discover are thin outside hotels, airports and chains almost everywhere. Carry a Visa or Mastercard as well.
- These figures are national. A capital is more card-friendly than its country, and a village is less.
