Cash, credit cards and travelers checks are useful in Papua New Guinea as forms of payment for various goods and services. Credit cards are accepted at most establishments although those in smaller cities and towns may require cash. Traditional forms of currency including leaf and shell money are also occasionally used. Leaf money is dried banana leaves that feature patterns.
Most banknotes are plastic and resemble the Australian banknotes with the same color schemes. Most retailers in smaller regions will likely not have cash for a K50 so it is important to carry smaller currency when visiting these areas. ATMs can be used for cash withdrawals but typically charge a hefty fee for this service. Most ATMs will permit withdrawals against Visa or MasterCard accounts and are linked to Plus, Cirrus and Maestro networks. ATMs can be found readily outside most banks and banks offer currency exchange and cash withdrawal opportunities as well. Many hotels and other facilities accept credit cards as a source of payment as well.
Currency exchange typically requires a small fee, depending on the service used. Exchanging foreign currency for kina typically comes at a cash rate that is set by the Interbank department. Transferring money can be done through Western Union which is available at most branches of the Bank South Pacific. Most transactions, even currency exchanges in some cases, require a 10 percent tax to be paid at the time of service. This tax is in addition to the fee charged for exchanging foreign currency. Travelers checks are widely accepted in most major cities although it often takes a bit of time to exchange these. Most banks charge a fairly high rate for exchanging travelers checks of all foreign currencies.
Hotels typically offer currency exchanges, although visitors should check when they book their hotel room to ensure that they can safely and legally exchange when they arrive at their accommodations. Hotels are increasingly accepting travelers checks as well but again, checking beforehand is recommended.
