✈️ Heading to Anguilla? We've gathered some tips from the bunq community to make sure your trip is the smoothest it can be. 😎

Check them out below! 🌈 👇

Using your card

💳 Do I need cash in Anguilla, or can I use my card everywhere?

There are ATMs on the islands, but the ferry, for example,
only accepts cash. If the closest ATM happens to break down,
it is likely that won´t be fixed immediately. Plan ahead!

💰 What currency do they use here?

The currency here is East Caribbean Dollars. The symbol is XCD or EC$.

🏧 Which ATM’s can I use for free?

The bunq community hasn't reported reported any free ATM's here yet. If you find one, help other bunqers by sharing it here!

💵 If I want cash, how much should I take out of an ATM?

XCD 100 should be enough for a few days, since you can use your card for nearly everything.

💳 Should I choose local currency or Euros when paying?

If you're asked to choose between local currency and Euros, always choose local currency.

That way bunq does the conversion for you, and you get to take advantage of the best rates with bunq ZeroFX.

Staying connected

📱 Can I roam, or should I get a local SIM?

If you want to get a local SIM card, you can learn about your options here.
