Currency & Money

Currency information:

Fijian Dollar (FJD; symbol F$) = 100 cents. Notes are in denominations of F$100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of F$2 and 1, and 50, 20, 10, and 5 cents.

Credit cards:

American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard and Visa are accepted at a number of establishments and can be used in resorts on most islands.

ATM:

Major international cards are accepted at ATMs, which can be found in Nadi, Suva and Savusavu, and although they are cropping up throughout the rest of the islands, these cannot always be relied upon.

Travellers cheques:

Traveller's cheques attract a rate slightly higher than cash and are easily changed at banks (for a commission) and private exchange offices (often without commission).

Banking hours:

Generally, Mon-Thurs 0930-1500, Fri 0930-1600. Foreign Exchange Dealers: Mon-Fri 0830-1700, Sat 0830-1300.

Currency restriction:

There are no restrictions on the import of local and foreign currency, provided it is declared upon arrival when the sum is the equivalent of F$10,000 or more. The export of local currency is limited to F$500 in cash. When exporting foreign currency, you will need an approval from the Reserve Bank of Fiji when the sum exceeds the equivalent of F$5,000.

Currency exchange:

Exchange facilities are available at the airport, at trading banks, at private exchange offices and at most hotels.
