Geldautomaten und Geldwechsler

ATM

Geldautomaten

There are two ATM’s located near Bukit Lawang. Both are a short taxi/bike ride away.

​

  • The nearest ATM is situated in Bohorok, a 20min journey from Bukit Lawang. Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) has two ATM’s here next to the Minimart. The machines issue 50,000 RP notes and there is a maximum withdrawal of 1 million per transaction. Most international cards are accepted here including Mastercard (not VISA though). Please note you will be charged a transaction fee to use this machine.

​

  • There is also another ATM a further 10mins drive from here, although this is sometimes out of order.

​

  • If you’re planning on visiting Tangakhan, you will have an opportunity to stop at an ATM along the way to withdraw cash.

​

  • Most guesthouses now accept credit or debit cards although will charge a 2-3% transaction fee.

​

  • Please note that some ATM’s are temperamental and may decline your bank card for no apparent reason. To avoid disappointment, please ensure you have sufficient cash during your travels.

​

  • If you are travelling from Medan, it’s a good idea to visit one of their many ATM’s (either in the city or airport) before you travel to Bukit Lawang.

Geldwechsler

  • Geldwechselstuben gibt es in Flughäfen, Großstädten, großen Hotels und vielen Einkaufszentren. Sie sind in der Regel 24 Stunden am Tag, sieben Tage die Woche geöffnet.

  • Die schlechtesten Wechselkurse werden oft an Flughäfen und in Hotels angeboten. Vorsicht vor Geldwechslern auf der Straße, da diese Sie möglicherweise übers Ohr hauen.

  • Prüfen Sie vor dem Besuch eines Geldwechslers immer die aktuellen Wechselkurse.

  • Die meisten lokalen Banken bieten wettbewerbsfähige Wechselkurse.

  • Wenn Sie US-Dollar umtauschen möchten, sollten diese in brandneuem Zustand sein, um sicherzustellen, dass sie nicht abgelehnt werden.
