Banks and currency exchange
Most major banks work from Monday to Thursday, from 08.45-9.00 to 15.00, on Fridays - from 08.45-9.00 to 16.00.
Currency can be exchanged at bank offices, as well as at their branches at the airport, hotels and shopping centers. You can also exchange currency in private exchange offices, where the exchange rate is somewhat more profitable, and they usually do not charge commissions for the exchange (banks charge a commission of 0.2-1% of the amount). Current exchange rates are necessarily posted in banks and hotels, as well as published in all national newspapers.
In most major institutions of the capital, major international payments are accepted for payment. credit cards(American Express has the widest service network, also in big banks, restaurants and hotels operate with Visa without any problems). ATMs can be found only in Port Moresby, but it is almost impossible to use them without a local bank account. Apply in the province credit cards extremely difficult.
Traveler's checks can be cashed at bank offices in most major cities. However, the branches that work with them are not numerous, so there are usually long queues here. To avoid additional costs Due to exchange rate fluctuations, it is recommended to take with you checks in US dollars or in pounds sterling or Australian dollars (some banks charge a commission of up to $ 5 when cashing checks).
Outlying areas only accept cash. local currency, and there is a clear shortage of small bills, which should be stocked up in advance.
Price level
In cities, almost all hotels and restaurants are relatively expensive - budget hotels charge about $20-50 per day for their services with a level of comfort comparable to European hostels, mid-range hotels - $40-60 and more, high-class accommodation - $80 and more, while many of them do not pull even at the level of "3 stars". Please note that in most hotels rooms must be booked in advance.
However, outside the city limits, the price level drops sharply - here you can stay in a private boarding house for almost $ 3-7 per day or bargain with the owner of a motel or lodge for $ 7-15 per day. And if you manage to agree on accommodation in a private house (in many villages guests are accommodated in schools or even in police stations), then it will cost a maximum of $ 5 per day, while the same level of cuisine can be provided as in many private boarding houses.
However, in this case, you should leave the hosts some money ($3-15 for the entire period of stay) for their hospitality, not forgetting, however, to arrange it not as a tip or a gift, but as a payment for some Additional services. In the mountainous area there are numerous guest houses (especially common in the Sepik district), which can only be reached by air or by jeeps.
