Credit Cards
Credit Cards are still a thing of the future with only 7,000 merchants accepting them, in a country more than 3 times larger than the UK. It can be very frustrating. Best thing you can do is leave them at home. Also the chances of fraud are very high due to the relaxed attitude of the traders. Credit & debit cards. American Express is the most widely accepted card. MasterCard and Visa are also good, but Diners Club and other cards have more limited use. Check with your credit, or debit, card company for details of merchant acceptability and other services which may be available. Travellers cheques. Generally accepted at most banks, 4- and 5-star hotels and major shops. To avoid additional exchange rate charges, travellers are advised to take travellers cheques in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling. Currency restrictions. The import and export of local currency is limited to PRs100 in denominations of PRs10 or less (the import of banknotes in denominations of PRs50 and PRs100 or more is prohibited). The import and export of foreign currency are unlimited. Up to Prs500 may be reconverted into foreign currency, provided official exchange receipts are shown. Banking hours. Mon-Sat 0900-1330, Fri 0900-1230.
