This way, you have legal tender for immediate expenses like taxis and snacks, especially if you land when exchanges are shut. 

What is the best currency for Bermuda?

The Bermudian dollar is your go-to as it’s the official currency of Bermuda. The Bermuda currency symbol is BD$ or $, and the Bermuda currency code is BMD.

Is the Bermudian dollar the same as the USD?

No, the Bermudian dollar (BMD) is not the same as the US dollar (USD), but they are pegged 1:1, meaning their values are equivalent.

Can I use US dollars in Bermuda?

Yes, you can use USD (United States dollars) in island-wide Bermuda (but not other currencies).   

Because of their one-to-one peg, the island accepts Bermudian dollars (BMD) and US dollars interchangeably. This means one Bermudian dollar has the same value as one US dollar, but there aren’t any American banks on the island.

​​Does Bermuda accept British pounds?

No, Bermuda does not accept British pounds (GBP) or any other foreign currencies except the USD.

Should I use cash or card in Bermuda? 

Having both is wise, but cash is more universally accepted, particularly for more minor expenses.

Keep these pointers in mind:

• ATMs are easy to find in towns and tourist areas but less so off the beaten path. Carry enough physical money when exploring further afield.
• Be careful when using your card to avoid scams. Stick to well-known businesses and keep an eye on your spending.
• Bermuda money is best to avoid a poor exchange rate and fees. 
• Having smaller notes is handy for daily spends.
• Large bills can be a hassle to break.
• Tell your bank about your travel plans to keep your card active.
• Have a backup payment option ready for emergencies.

A mix of cash (mainly) and a card as a backup usually works best.

If you have any leftover currency when you get back, don’t worry. We’ll convert any leftover BMD to GBP.

Can I use my ATM card in Bermuda? 

Yes, most tourist spots take debit cards. But it’s always good to have some money, just in case. 

Check if your credit cards work abroad. Visa and Mastercard are generally fine, but it’s less common to see American Express.

How do I avoid ATM fees in Bermuda?

To reduce ATM charges:

• Use ATMs at major banks in Bermuda.
• Take out more significant sums less often.
• Check if your bank has fee-free Bermuda currency conversion arrangements with any Bermudian banks like Butterfield Bank.

Bermuda island currency

Bermudian dollars

Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, uses the Bermudian dollar (BMD), regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Bermudian dollar notes are a vivid tapestry of the island’s rich heritage and natural wonders. 

From the iconic pink sand beaches to the historic figures that shaped the island, the imagery on these notes serves as a mini-tour of Bermuda’s culture and landscapes. 

Various denominations are in circulation, such as $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, each distinguished by unique colours and designs.

As a British colonial territory, Bermuda’s currency system reflects its historical ties to the United Kingdom, with Queen Elizabeth II featured on some banknotes.

Bermuda currency coins 

Coins come in denominations such as 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents, including the $1 coin (equal to 100 cents).

Each has a unique design that pays homage to Bermuda’s natural beauty and historical landmarks.

The designs range from the island’s famous wildlife, like birds and fish, to symbols of its cultural and historical significance. 

Bermuda has issued commemorative coins on various occasions. These special editions mark significant events, anniversaries, or notable figures related to Bermuda’s heritage and culture. They normally have a face value but are more collector’s items.

What is Hogge Money?

Hogge Money is Bermuda’s first currency, minted and introduced around 1616, named after the wild hogs found on the islands.  

These early coins, featuring a hog on one side and denominations in Roman numerals on the other, were among the first made for English colonies in the Americas. 

Bermuda’s currency import and export regulations

Bermuda has rules for bringing in and taking out money. Here’s a quick overview:

You can bring any amount of foreign money into Bermuda. Just declare amounts over £7,500 at customs.

The same goes for leaving. You can take out up to £7,500 without declaring it. For more, you’ll need to declare and possibly show proof of where the money came from.

These rules help stop illegal financial activities. Stick to them to keep your trip smooth.
