Money: The official currency is the Ethiopian Birr (ETB), which is divided into 100 cents. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks and authorised hotels. Credit cards have limited usage outside of Addis Ababa, and even in the capital they are only accepted by major establishments. Visitors should carry a supply of travellers cheques or hard currency with them, preferably in US dollars. ATMs are sparse, but banks are usually open every day except Sundays from 8am to 11am and 1pm till 4pm.


Currency Exchange Rates

ETB 1.00 = US$ 0.11 £ 0.05 C$ 0.10 A$ 0.11 R 0.83 € 0.07 NZ$ 0.13
