Travel advise: payments in Indonesia
Jet off well-informed to Indonesia. Here are some handy facts about cash and card payments in Indonesia.
Can I use my bank card in Indonesia?
You will only be able to pay by card in Indonesia in supermarkets and bigger shops in main cities and tourist-heavy locations. Smaller shops and those in more rural areas will only accept payment in cash. Be aware of currency conversion fees: British banks may charge heavily for international card payments made in Indonesia. In addition your bank's IDR to GBP exchange rate may not be so good. This is how banks make money. Before using your bank card for payments in Indonesia, it's certainly a good idea to contact your bank. This will avoid your card becoming blocked due to international transactions that your bank may find suspicious.
Do I need cash in Indonesia?
You should certainly take Indonesian Rupiah cash with you on your trip to Indonesia. Cash is the only accepted means of payment in many local shops, traditional markets, food stalls, taxis and on public transport.
Is life expensive in Indonesia?
The cost of living in Indonesia is much cheaper than the cost of living in the UK: around 40% lower. Indonesia is a huge country with over 15,000 islands. Prices are very different from place to place. For a coffee in a cafe in Jakarta or Bali, expect to pay somewhere around Rp. 30,000 IDR. A three-course meal in a mid-range restaurant will cost in the area of Rp. 150,000 IDR.
How does tipping work in Indonesia?
If a 'service charge' is added to the restaurant bill, no tip is expected, but you can leave Rp 5.000 – 20.000 as a tip. Most restaurants have a service charge included. Local eateries may not be familiar with tipping if they are located outside of the main tourist areas.
