Are credit cards widely accepted and safe to use locally? Are ATMs common and do you recommend using them? Are they safe to use?
Cards are accepted EVERYWHERE. - May 2016
Major credit cards are widely accepted. ATMS are everywhere. Take care if using an ATM that doesn't belong to your bank. Like everywhere else in the developed world you will be stung a couple of dollars for using another bank's ATM.Be careful with your cards. Like elsewhere in the US identity theft is a problem. Buy a shredder and shred all your ATM receipts and anything else which has your details on it (like credit card offers in the mail).Some banks offer debit/credit cards wiht you photo on them. A better protection for your account. - Jun 2006
