What is the currency in Bali?

The currency in Bali is the Indonesian rupiah. Each rupiah is divided into 100 sen.

When you’re buying currency for Bali, look out for the currency code IDR. And once you’re in Bali, you’ll see the symbol Rp used to show prices.

You’ll find Indonesian banknotes in denominations of 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000 and 100000.

There are also 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 rupiah coins.

Tips for exchanging currency in Bali.

Familiarise yourself with the mid-market rate before your trip.

The mid-market rate is the true exchange rate - with no sneaky hidden fees. Use an online currency converter before your trip to get a feel for what your money is worth and make sure you get a fair rate when you buy your travel money.Convert GBP to IDR >

Choose to be charged in Bali currency when withdrawing from ATMs.

Being offered to pay in your own currency at an ATM is a sneaky trick and causes many travellers to pay more than they need to. Always choose to pay in the local currency - in this case, rupiah - to cut your costs and get the best rates available.

Avoid changing currency at airports or hotels.

Currency exchange desks at airports and hotels often markup the exchange rates they use, and may charge hidden fees. Avoid this expensive option whenever you can.
