Prices on the ground

How far money goes here, from World Bank price level indices. A national average of a household basket, so a capital or a resort island runs above it.

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 in hotels and cities, cash for the rest

58% of adults pay in shops by card or phone.

  • 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.
