Do You Still Need Cash in Indonesia?

Yes, cash is still king in many parts of Indonesia. While big cities and touristy areas increasingly accept card payments, small businesses and local vendors still prefer Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). You’ll need cash for: 

• Street food stalls
• Public transportation 
• Local markets 
• Small hotels or homestays 

Having some IDR in your wallet is always a good idea — even if you’re mostly using a card for payments.

Absolutely. Most ATMs in Indonesia accept international debit and credit cards, especially those with Visa, Mastercard, Cirrus, or Maestro logos.

Before you travel, make sure: 

• Your card is activated for overseas use 
• Know your daily withdrawal limit 

Note: 

• ATMs in Indonesia dispense either 50,000 IDR or 100,000 IDR notes. A sticker will clearly indicate which one.

• Use multi-currency cards that waive foreign transaction fees (like YouTrip, Revolut, or Wise)

Exchange Rates & Conversion Fees in Indonesia

Here’s what to watch out for: 

• Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC): ATMs may offer to charge you in your home currency — always select IDR. If you select SGD, the ATM applies DCC, which gives you a poor exchange rate with extra fees. 
  
• Exchange Rate Markups: If you’re not using a multi-currency card, your bank may mark up the exchange rate by 1-4%. So, keep this in mind when calculating your total costs!

Tips to Avoid Extra Fees on Exchange Rates

The short answer: Use a multi-currency card.

A multi-currency card allows you to spend like a local without the usual markups or extra charges your bank would typically charge — some even waive the FX fees entirely. 

Consider cards like YouTrip, Wise, or Revolut if you’re looking to save on foreign exchange rates and pesky fees. These cards:

• Allow you to score real-time exchange rates
• Avoid or charge lower foreign transaction fees compared to traditional banks 
• Charge lower ATM withdrawal fees & work at most ATMs and retail stores in Indonesia
