Curaçao shares a monetary union with Sint Maarten and adopted the Caribbean guilder in March 2025. Domestic bank and card services coexist with international cards in a tourism-facing economy, making currency conversion and identification of the former Antillean guilder relevant.

Cash in Curaçao

Curaçao's acceptance of card payments is broad in hotels and restaurants, but taxis usually need cash. Caribbean-guilder notes and US dollars serve everyday local spending, while attractions away from Willemstad may be cash-only.
