Bermuda is known as electronically one of the most wired countries in the world. No wonder that all kinds of credit cards are widely accepted in Bermuda like the Master, Visa and American Express.
Almost all stores, restaurants and big hotels will accept credit cards. However remember that some small hotels like guesthouses or inns take only cash and may not accept cards. I have used my Amex and Master cards for taking cash advance from ATMs in Bermuda.
They have worked without any problems. Visa cards will also work similarly. Bank of Bermuda and Butterfield Bank have 24 hours ATMs all around the island. These credit cards can also be used to take advances from any of the local bank branches. Travelers Checks are accepted in all banks.
If you are looking for any other assistance related to money advance or transfers from home, here are the two financial service companies that you should contact:
Western Union: Located at Gibsons Deposit Company (Phone: 441/296-6969) within Hamilton City
Bermuda Financial Network: This is a Bermuda based local company offering many financial services including electronic payments and ACH (Automated Clearing House). They also provide assistance with American Express cards. Check out the link for details and contacts.
