Mauritania ATM Travel Guide

ATMs in Mauritania don’t usually pose any challenges, however if there are no ATMs nearby or the ATMs in Mauritania are not working with your card, check back here for our guide below.

It explains how you can send yourself money online and pick it up at an authorized local cash pick up point. This is also useful if you want to avoid paying ATM fees / withdraw more than ATM limits allow.

Being a very similar process to buying something online with your debit card, it is probably the quickest way to send money to yourself in Mauritania.

Mauritania ATM Fees & General Information

Most ATMs in Mauritania charge a withdrawal fee.
You will also probably get charged a fee by your own bank.

Having a Wise (formerly TransferWise) MasterCard can help reduce your home bank fees and gives a great exchange rate on purchases. With their borderless account / card you can hold your money in more than 40 currencies and use the debit card to get your cash out with low conversion fees and zero transaction fees. Click here for more info.

Withdrawal limits depend on the bank and, if multiple transactions are needed, transaction fees can mount up.

Major hotels take debit/credit cards, but cheaper accommodations, tourist sites and smaller restaurants tend to only take cash.

You’ll find Visa is the most commonly accepted card at ATMs in Mauritania, however there are an increasing number that also accept Cirrus/MasterCard.

Unfortunately, ATM fraud in Mauritania is not uncommon….. Check out our Travel Money Tips for what to look out for with regards to Skimmers and more general information covering pre-trip planning, fees, scams, and general safety.

ATMs In Honduras

ATMs In Honduras

Honduras ATM Travel Guide

ATMs in Honduras don’t usually pose any challenges, however there are a few exceptions where we’ve heard of problems as there can be issues with the computer links, or the machines can run out of money. Examples where this may happen frequently are Roatán and Zambrano.

If there are no ATMs close by, the ATMs in Honduras are not working with your card, or you want to avoid paying ATM fees / make larger withdrawals, check back here for our guide below. It explains how you can send yourself money online and pick it up at an authorized local cash pick up point.

It is a very similar process to buying something online with your debit card and is probably the quickest way to send money to yourself in Honduras.

Here are two useful links to find the nearest ATMs in Honduras : Visa / MasterCard

Honduras ATM Fees & General Information

Most ATMs in Honduras charge fees. These are usually around 115 HNL, with the standalone machines in shops and tourist areas charging more and also taking a surprisingly high commission with the currency exchange rate they offer. We’ve heard of some cards not being charged a withdrawal fee at Banco Occidente, so try here first if possible.
You will also probably get charged a fee by your own bank.

Having a Wise (formerly TransferWise) MasterCard can help reduce your home bank fees and gives a great exchange rate on purchases. With their borderless account / card you can hold your money in more than 40 currencies and use the debit card to get your cash out with low conversion fees and zero transaction fees. Click here for more info.

Withdrawal limits depend on the bank.
They are usually between 4,000 and 5,000 Lempira, meaning fees from multiple withdrawals can quickly add up.
It’s also worth noting that in small villages, cash machines may have limited funds available.
With the method of sending yourself money to Honduras outlined below, you can send much more than ATM withdrawal limits and avoid having to make multiple withdrawals and the associated fees. If you are worried about your card details being stolen whilst using an ATM, this also helps.

Major hotels take debit/credit cards, but cheaper accommodations, tourist sites and restaurants tend to only take cash. It’s best to have small denominations as change can be a problem in smaller businesses.

You’ll find Visa and MasterCard are equally accepted by ATMs in Honduras.

Unfortunately, ATM fraud in Honduras is becoming more common as it is a worldwide problem. The introduction of more private/standalone cash points make it easier for fraudsters to work, so we always recommend using a cash point attached to a bank where possible. Check out our Travel Money Tips for what to look out for and more general information covering pre-trip planning, fees, scams, and general safety.

ATMs In Gabon

ATMs In Gabon

Gabon ATM Travel Guide

ATMs in Gabon don’t usually pose any challenges, however if there are no ATMs nearby or the ATMs in Gabon are not working with your card, check back here for our guide below.

It explains how you can send yourself money online and pick it up at an authorized local cash pick up point. This is also useful if you want to avoid paying ATM fees / withdraw more than ATM limits allow.

Being a very similar process to buying something online with your debit card, it is probably the quickest way to send money to yourself in Gabon.

Gabon ATM Fees & General Information

You are unlikely to find ATMs in Gabon outside of Libreville or Port-Gentil.
Most charge a usage fee.
You will also probably get charged a fee by your own bank.

Having a Wise (formerly TransferWise) MasterCard can help reduce your home bank fees and gives a great exchange rate on purchases. With their borderless account / card you can hold your money in more than 40 currencies and use the debit card to get your cash out with low conversion fees and zero transaction fees. Click here for more info.

Withdrawal limits depend on the bank, and unfortunately we can find no reliable information about what these limits are.

Major hotels take debit/credit cards, but cheaper accommodations, tourist sites and restaurants tend to only take cash.

You’ll find Visa is the most commonly accepted card at ATMs in Gabon, with Cirrus/MasterCard often being rejected (UGM is your best option for these cards)

Unfortunately, ATM fraud in Gabon is not uncommon….. Check out our Travel Money Tips for what to look out for with regards to Skimmers and more general information covering pre-trip planning, fees, scams, and general safety.
