Antigua Commercial Bank

The bank is situated near the old airport and there have been significant improvements recently to the lack of banking services we experienced over many years, with two new cashpoint machines (ATM) finally being installed outside the bank. There is a $500ec daily limit on foreign cards, so we advise visitors to bring cash for their stay although it should be much easier to get cash here now. ACB have a useful app for local customers with accounts that assists with transfers online.

Both EC dollars and US dollars are welcome here, at a rate of about EC$2.70 to US$1.00 which never changes. Most Barbudan businesses keep change in both currencies or will give you ec dollars in change if you pay with US$. Hardly anyone in Barbuda with a small business has a card machine so most payments in guesthouses, bars, shops or taxi’s will need payment in cash.
