St. Lucia - Money

Apr 09, 2025

Currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (EC$). This is tied to the US$ and has a fixed exchange rate of US$1 -EC$2.70.

The US Dollar is widely accepted in many places, such as hotels, restaurants and taxis. Charges are often quoted in US$ rather than EC$.

Banks are open from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM Monday through Thursday and until 5:00 PM on Friday.

Visa, American Express and MasterCard are widely accepted at hotels, car-rental agencies, shops and restaurants.

ATMs are available at bank branches and shopping centers throughout the island. They dispense Eastern Caribbean dollars.

Prices for many tourist services, including accommodations, activities, excursions and car hire, are often quoted in US dollars and can be paid in US dollars. But you can also pay the equivalent in EC dollars or with a major credit card.
