Currency and foreign exchange
South African currency is measured in rands (R) and cents (c). There are one hundred cents the rand, notes are issued in R10, R20, R50, R100 and R200 denominations, and coins 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, R1, R2 and R5. Exchange foreign currency at any commercial bank. American Express, Thomas Cook, Rennies or Diners Club International offices or Bureaux de Change can be found in the larger centers. South Africa has a modern banking and commercial system and most shops and hotels will accept credit cards.
Banking Hours
Most Banks open from 09H00 to 15H30 Monday to Friday, and Saturdays from 08H30 to 11H00. Branches in smaller towns often close between 13H00 and 14H00.
Credit cards and traveler's cheques
Most international credit cards and traveler's checks are accepted at formal businesses, but expect to pay cash at informal, road side markets (for safety's sake, choose markets that are frequented by tourists and are on main thoroughfares).
