FAQ
Can you withdraw cash for free in Cape Town?
It's difficult. Within 2 km of the centre of Cape Town we don't know of any ATM that is reliably free. Check the screen at the ATM.
Should I pay in ZAR or in my home currency?
If the ATM offers to charge you in your home currency, always choose ZAR (without conversion). The ATM's own conversion often costs 5–10%.
How do I avoid ATM fees in Cape Town?
Avoid mainly: Standard Bank (ZAR 50), FNB (ZAR 50), Nedbank (ZAR 50), Absa (ZAR 75). Use the ATMs marked as free above and on the map. Withdraw a larger amount once rather than small amounts several times, and check before your trip what your own bank charges for foreign withdrawals.
