As in many countries, the bank is a fortified operation. People with questions can pick up a phone outside the bank to get answers. When actually entering the bank, be prepared to pass belongings through a window before entering through a separate entrance that allows customers to enter one at a time. Once inside the bank, your belongings will be returned to you before you get in one of the various lines to complete business. There is special area of the bank where dollars can be purchased.
Customers can also exchange traveler's checks in a bank.
ATMs will dispense cash if the user has the appropriate bankcard. Keep in mind that after a certain hour at night, ATMs will only dispense limited amounts in an attempt to protect customers from robbery. ATMs can be found throughout the city in banks, supermarkets and malls, as well as in separate kiosks. Money can be exchanged in banks, at an exchange bureau, or at traveling agencies. Exchange bureaus charge little or no commission for exchanging money.
