Banco Nacional

Had to wait about an hour to get cash here on a Monday mid-day, it was super backed up. (ATM is fine, but I needed a teller.)

Easy access to the 2 ATM's that they have on the outside of the bank (left side of the breezeway leading to the main doors). We found that when using our Canadian debit/credit cards, do not use the "Ingles" (English) option. You will only get a blank screen with a weird error message on the upper left corner. Instead, choose "Espanol", and figure out the prompts (if you know Spanish, even a little bit, you should be able to handle this). Got our colones (no option for US $'s), and away we went. We felt safe the whole time, and if you are worried about safety, use ATM's in the daytime.

Most dependable ATMs - Colones Only

They will not change currency if you don't have a passport.

Bod service, so slow!
