Money Matters

Although American dollars are accepted everywhere in Corozal and Orange Walk, money changers at the Mexico border and in Corozal Town exchange Belize dollars for U.S. and Mexican currency, usually for better rates than in banks. The three banks in Corozal—Atlantic Bank, Belize Bank, and ScotiaBank—have ATMs, and all three accept ATM cards issued outside Belize. Orange Walk Town also has branches of Belize Bank and ScotiaBank with ATMs that accept foreign ATM cards. There are no banks in Sarteneja or the Copper Bank area, or around Altun Ha or near the jungle lodges in remote areas of Orange Walk District.
