Description

The currency used in Bali is the same as the rest of the country, the Indonesian Rupiah. It is the only official money on the island and you will see it written with the code IDR or the symbol Rp. Prices are usually written with Rp at the front, and a full stop is used instead of a comma to separate the thousands. So Rp. 20.000 means twenty thousand rupiah. You might also see prices written as Rp. 20K. Cards work fine in hotels, spas, restaurants, and large shops, just don’t count on them everywhere. Digital e-wallets are growing in popularity, especially in touristy areas, but cash remains essential.

Can you use Australian dollars in Bali?

The short answer is no. Australian dollars are not accepted as payment in Bali. Even in busy tourist areas, the local currency IDR is the accepted value. If you bring Australian cash, you will need to exchange it for Bali currency before you start shopping, dining, or hitting the bars.

What is the cheapest way to buy Bali cash?

If you are looking to exchange currency and withdraw Indonesian rupiah, it’s often cheaper to make the transaction online for amounts up to $5,000.

The cheapest way to get cash for Bali is to plan ahead and avoid exchanging money at the airport or through services with high fees. Here are the most cost-effective options:

Order Online from a Trusted Provider- Using a service like S Money allows you to lock in competitive exchange rates close to the market rate. You can order your Bali currency in advance and choose delivery or pick-up, often saving money compared to last-minute exchanges at the airport.
Using ATMs in Bali- Withdrawing Bali cash directly from an ATM in Bali can also be a good option, particularly if you use a travel-friendly card that charges low or no international fees, such as Wise or Revolut. Make sure to withdraw larger amounts at once to reduce multiple transaction fees, and choose ATMs inside banks or busy locations for safety.
Avoid Airport Money Changers - Airport exchange counters may be convenient, but they usually offer worse rates and higher fees than banks or licensed money changers in town. Even a few percentage points difference can add up if you are exchanging a significant amount.
Compare Rates at Licensed Money Changers - In Bali, there are plenty of licensed money changers offering competitive rates. Look for official signage, read reviews online, and always count your cash before leaving the counter to avoid mistakes or scams.
Use a Travel Money Card - A prepaid travel money card is a safe and convenient way to carry Bali currency without handling too much cash. You can load it with Australian dollars before you leave and spend directly in Indonesia at shops, restaurants, and even ATMs.
