Can you use Australian dollars in Fiji?
While Fiji is a popular holiday destination for Australians, you cannot use Australian dollars for everyday transactions. Hotels and resorts may sometimes accept AUD, but for markets, taxis, restaurants, and shops you’ll need Fijian dollars. Exchanging money before you go or using ATMs in Fiji ensures you’re paying in the local currency without unnecessary fees.
Where is the Fijian Dollar accepted?
The Fijian dollar is only accepted in Fiji, including the main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, as well as smaller islands across the archipelago. From bustling Nadi and Suva to the peaceful outer islands, you’ll need cash on hand for many day-to-day expenses, especially in rural areas where card payments aren’t always available.

Buying Fijian Dollars in Australia

Where is the Best Place to Buy Foreign Currency in Australia?

If you want to land in Fiji with cash in your pocket and no stress, it’s smart to sort out your foreign currency before you fly. When it comes to buying Fijian dollars in Australia, you have three main options:

  • Buy online and choose either home delivery or in-store collection.
  • Exchange at a currency store in a major city.
  • As a last resort, purchase at the airport.

Online money changers like S Money often have the most competitive exchange rates and let you buy FJD online in just a few clicks. However, delivery or collection can take two to five business days, so you’ll need to plan ahead. If you prefer to walk into a store, bigger city outlets (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) tend to offer better rates than suburban stores. Whatever you do, avoid buying currency at the airport if possible, the exchange rates and fees are among the least favourable anywhere in the world.

 

What is the Cheapest Way to Buy Fijian Dollars?

For amounts under $5,000, it’s often cheaper to buy Fijian dollars online. Online services like S Money usually provide better rates than banks, with the added benefit of click-and-collect or home delivery.

If you’re exchanging larger amounts, visiting a major city money changer can sometimes be cheaper because you can negotiate in person. Don’t forget to factor in the total cost, the exchange rate, service charges, and delivery or card fees, before deciding.

Top ways to buy FJD in Australia:

  1. Online orders – Best for competitive exchange rates.
  2. In-store exchange – Fast and flexible, just check stock first.
  3. Overseas exchanges – In Fiji, money changers can be competitive if you know where to look.
  4. International money transfers – Ideal for sending money directly to a Fijian bank account.
  5. Travel money cards – Great for locking in rates and avoiding ATM withdrawal fees.
