Currency & Money

Currency information:

The official currency of Bermuda is the Bermuda Dollar (BMD; symbol BD$), which is divided into 100 cents. Banknotes are in denominations of BD$100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 2. Coins are in denominations of BD$1, and 25, 10, 5, and 1 cents.

The Bermuda Dollar is pegged at par with the US Dollar (1 BMD = 1 USD), and both currencies are accepted interchangeably throughout the island.

Credit cards:

Most hotels, restaurants, shops, and larger service providers accept Visa and Mastercard, with American Express also accepted in many places. However, smaller businesses, taxis, or guesthouses may prefer cash.

ATM:

ATMs are widely available in Bermuda, particularly in Hamilton, St George's, and near major resorts or shopping areas. Machines dispense Bermuda Dollars (BMD).

Banking hours:

Mon-Fri 09:00-16:00.

Currency restriction:

There are no restrictions on the import or export of local or foreign currency. However, travellers carrying more than BDA $10,000 (or its equivalent in foreign currency) in cash or negotiable instruments must declare the amount to Customs.

Currency exchange:

Butterfield Bank and Clarien Bank offer foreign exchange services. However, most visitors bring US Dollars, which are accepted everywhere and used interchangeably with Bermuda Dollars. As a result, exchanging money is usually unnecessary for most travellers.

Bermuda duty free

The following goods may be imported into Bermuda by persons over 18 years of age without incurring customs duty:

• 200 cigarettes and 50 cigars and 500g of tobacco.

Banned imports:

Prohibited imports include illegal drugs and controlled substances, offensive weapons (including martial arts weapons, self-defence sprays, and stun guns), and indecent or obscene materials.

Restricted items include firearms, live animals, and certain plants and plant product.
