Barbados dollar
Barbados officially uses the Barbados dollar as the local currency.
Currency regime
The Barbados dollar is fixed at 1.98 against the US dollar.
The US dollar is accepted on equal terms with the Barbados dollar throughout almost all the country and it is, therefore, possible to take US dollars rather than Barbados dollars. Travellers cheques are best taken in US dollars.
Travellers cheques can be exchanged at the banks, but the best rates are obtained for US dollar travellers cheques.
