There are also Bank Checks and Money Orders: In
some cases, bank checks or money orders may still be accepted
as a form of payment abroad, although their acceptance can differ
by country and may incur processing fees.
When considering alternatives to traveler's checks, consider issues
such as convenience, security, fees, and scope of acceptance in
The Gambia. It's advisable to have a mix of payment methods (such
as cards for large purchases, bank notes for small transactions)
to secure financial flexibility while traveling overseas.
Finally, cash is king! Consider bringing along some of your local
currency such as US Dollars, Euro or GBP (Pound Sterling), Krone
among other foreign currencies. This maybe more riskier, but you
may get to the airport in the early hours of the morning and have
no way of paying for your taxi in the local currency for example.
Someone at the airport might be willing to change it for you,
drivers might accept it or change your money at your destination
hotel or other type of accommodation.
