Are there ATMs at Bandaranaike International Airport?

Yes, there are a few ATMs that sit right inside the arrival hall of Bandaranaike International Airport, just after you exit the customs area, so you do not have to go hunting around outside. These machines work with major international networks like Visa, Mastercard, and Cirrus.

Using an ATM is often a more cost-effective method to get Sri Lankan Rupees, even if your home bank may add an international withdrawal fee. It is also recommended that you tell your bank your travel dates for Sri Lanka, so your card does not get flagged for suspicious overseas activity.
