Money and Cash Machines
As of 1 January 2023, the currency used in Croatia is the euro (EUR), which is the only official means of payment in Croatia, and which replaced the previously used kuna. Banknotes are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 euros, while coins of 1 and 2 euros and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents are in use. There is also a 500 euro banknote in circulation, which was discontinued in 2019, but is still legal tender.
There are 5 cash machines in Senj, by following banks: Erste banka, Hrvatska poštanska banka, Privredna banka i Zgrebačka banka. All ATMs accept Eurocard/Mastercard, Diners, American Express and Visa accessing cash.
In Croatia, you can easily exchange dollars, pounds or any other value into euros.
The exchange rate of the euro against other world currencies is not fixed, but changes almost every day depending on the market conditions.
You can check the official exchange rate every day on the website of the Croatian National Bank, but commercial banks and exchange offices have their own market exchange rate, which you must take into account when exchanging money. To avoid unwanted charges, verify the fees with your bank and card company before you travel.
The legal tender in shops, restaurants and other commercial facilities is exclusively the euro, so guests coming from outside the euro area are advised to use debit or credit cards, contactless payment applications or pay in cash when other options are not available. In most cases, accepted payment methods are clearly highlighted in visible places in Croatia, so we recommend that you check those payment methods before making a purchase.
