Currency and Banks/ATM (Cash Machine) Information
There are many currency exchange facilities in Boston. Most banks exchange currency as do a number
of travel centers in the city. However, exchange services are more limited outside of Boston,
and it is best to carry US Dollar currency traveler checks or small amounts of U.S. cash.
New England businesses accept most credit cards (not international debit cards) and US Dollar
traveler's checks. Some restaurants accept cash only. Some businesses may require a photo
identification card (passport or other identification) before cashing traveler's checks.
Banks are often typically from Monday to Friday 9AM - 5PM and sometimes on Saturday
morning from 9AM - 12Noon.
