Currency
Afghani (AFN) = 100 puls. Notes are in denominations of AFN1,000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1. The US Dollar is also widely accepted.
Credit/Debit Cards and ATMs
Not generally accepted. There is one ATM in the entire country, which dispenses Afghanis. This is located in Kabul (Street 10, Wazir Akbar Khan) and only accepts Visa-branded credit and debit cards between 0830-1900 daily. It is recommended that visitors carry sufficient funds in US Dollars.
Traveller's Cheques
It is not currently recommended to take traveller's cheques to Afghanistan, since they are not widely accepted and may take up to two months to clear. If necessary, however, to avoid additional exchange rate charges, travellers are advised to take traveller's cheques in US Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling.
Currency Restrictions
Restrictions apply.
Banking Hours
Generally Sat-Wed 0800-1200 and 1300-1630, Thurs 0800-1330.
