American Samoa uses the US dollar, placing its South Pacific economy inside a US-currency payment environment. Local banking, cash and card services serve a small resident market, while overseas connections matter for commerce and local financial-service reach and availability.

Cash in American Samoa

Most American Samoan businesses take only physical cash payments, although major hotels and stores accept cards. US-dollar ATMs are concentrated on Tutuila, leaving other islands with fewer ways to turn bank balances into notes.
