Back to TopGuyana has a cash-based economy, and the Guyanese Dollar (G$, GY$, GYD) is the official currency. While an increasing number of establishments in Georgetown will take payments via credit card, you will need to have cash on hand, especially when you head into the rainforest and savannahs of the country. The banks in Georgetown allow limited daily withdrawals for international travellers (usually G$100,000 or US$475). ATMs in other towns are limited. It is best to pay local accommodations and tour operators in advance. This will allow you to limit the amount of cash you carry while visiting.
US$1 = approximately G$210
€1 = approximately G$235
£1 = approximately G$266
