TRAVELBUGCRUISER Posted November 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The ATMs are out of order, can anyone suggest where I can get cash around the pier at St Maarten? Thank you:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurschick Posted November 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2022 So both ATM’s onboard are out of order? you can draw cash at the casino for a fee. Then cash out. Otherwise guest services should be able to advise you where a local bank is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be ATMs in town, maybe even one at the pier, but as suggested above going via the casino might be the most convenient, but you'll need to do it before arrival as the casino will shut while in port. Also, you should be able to just transfer/charge an amount to your cabin via a slot machine and cash out without any fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted November 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Wouldn't the local ATM's dispense local currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP, try RBC (Royal Bank of Canada). I also just googled "where can you get dollars in St. Maarten" and the first hit said Local currency and US Dollar ATM machines (Maestro/Cirrus) are situated throughout the island.

I've never done it, but have been told the Mexico ATM's that give USD charge about 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbeyg Posted November 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 29, 2022 If you have a bank account that refunds ATM fees internationally, that would be the best card to use. Otherwise, you may pay a hefty fee for cash at ATMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishgal432 Posted November 29, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Go to the casino and ask someone how to charge your seapass so you can gamble. If it is not more than a few hundred, you gamble a couple of spins and then you can cash it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't need to even gamble however, if you don't your card is locked from taking money from the slots for 24 hours. Speaking from experience here.

LeeW Posted November 29, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Nearest ATM is in the large elevated building right in front of you as you get off the pier outside one of the shops. No idea what currency it dispenses (have never used local currency in St Maarten). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akb5k Posted November 30, 2022 #16 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I went to school in Sint Maarten. You probably don't need cash unless maybe for the bus? But if you do need cash Dutch side ATMs will have the option of multiple currencies, French side might get just Euros. The dollar is generally accepted on either side. There are plenty of ATMs in Philipsburg, try Cannegieter Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
