Banking

Banks along the Costera are usually open from 9 a.m. to 1 or 2 p.m. on weekdays. The banks have the best rates, but should you opt for convenience, the Casas de Cambio (money exchange booths) give a competitive rate of exchange and usually have short lines. Hotels are perhaps the most convenient place to exchange money, but rates are worse at hotels than at banks or exchange booths.
There is an American Express office at 709 Costera Aleman (the Costera). Telephone: 84-5200 for financial services, 84-1095 for travel services, 84-5550 for customer service, and 84-6060 for tours.

• PIN accepted cards at bank machines: Cirrus and Plus systems
• Credit card and bank card cash-advance service is available inside the banks.

ATM Machines may be found outside of banks. Cash will be Mexican pesos based on the day’s bank exchange rate.
