Cape Verde Currency

Print this Guide Print this Guide  | Email this Guide Email this Guide

Money: The unit of currency is the Cape Verdean Escudo (CVE), broken down into 100 centavos. The CVE is tied to the Euro at CVE 110.27 = 1 Euro. There is a bureau de change at the airport, and local banks will change travellers cheques and foreign currency, although there is a high commission on travellers cheques. ATMs can be found at the airport and in Sal, Praia and Sâo Vincent. Major credit cards, particularly Mastercard and Visa are currently accepted in a few main resort hotels and restaurants. Banks will give cash on credit cards but commissions are high. To avoid additional charges, carry travellers cheques in US Dollars or Pounds Sterling.


Currency Exchange Rates

CVE 1.00 = US$ 0.01 £ 0.01 C$ 0.01 A$ 0.01 R 0.11 € 0.01 NZ$ 0.02

Note: These currency exchange rates are not updated daily and should be used as a guideline only.
