Is There An ATM In Port Barton ?
Yes!! The first ATM in Port Barton opened at the end of May 2019 ! It can be found near the White Hauz Inn. As of 2024 we believe there are now more located around town.
Just a word of warning though, the ATM in Port Barton is provided by Euronet. Even though the fee shows to be 200-250p, the hidden bias in exchange rate can swallow up a whopping 15% commission.
