Note that torn and old US dollar notes are not generally accepted in Borneo. Currency exchanges can be made at local banks. Airports and hotels may also provide currency exchange, but the exchange rates may not be favourable.


ATMs are widely available in cities and towns.


Credit cards (Visa and MasterCard) are accepted in major hotels and in most cafes and restaurants. Smaller, local shops and grocery stores may only accept cash. American Express is not widely accepted.
