Money

• BANKING & BUREAUX DE CHANGE
  All of South Africa’s major commercial banks have branches in Mossel Bay with foreign exchange facilities.

  Strategically-placed ATMs (automatic teller machines), which accept most major bank and credit cards, are situated outside the branches and also in major shopping precincts. They offer 24-hour service, 365 days of the year.

  Unfortunately Mossel Bay has no independent Bureaux de Change.

• BANKING HOURS
  Monday – Friday: 9:00 – 3:30
  Saturday: 8:30 – 11:00
  Some banks have longer hours – please check with individual branches.
• TIPPING
  Tipping is common and accepted practice – but you should only tip if you feel that you’ve been given exceptional service. Tip waiters and taxi drivers 10 – 15%; tip hotel porters R2.00 per bag. It’s not obligatory to tip parking marshals, but if you do, R5.00 is the norm.
