Suva - Post Report Question and Answers

Are credit cards widely accepted and safe to use locally? Are ATMs common and do you recommend using them? Are they safe to use?

Some places take credit cards. Anyplace that does take cards will charge an additional 3% fee (even hotels and resorts). While we were in Suva there was a rash of credit card numbers being stolen. Use the ATM or cashier in the Embassy. Don't use local ATMs - just assume they are compromised. Fiji is mostly a cash economy. - Oct 2018


We have cut back on using cards due to some issues with our cards getting hacked. Most places accept cards. - Apr 2016
