ATMs at MBJ?

Hey everyone.

We're heading back to Negril in a couple days (yesssssss), and I had a question regarding ATMs in MBJ airport.

The last couple times we've arrived, we've exchanged money at the airport right as we get off the plane, but I feel like I don't get as good as a deal as just withdrawing $JA from a Scotiabank ATM (I have a Bank of American debit card so avoid some of the fees).

Does anyone know if there are Scotiabank ATMs at the airport where I could take out some cash?

Thanks, and soon come!

The only ATM I've seen at MBJ is owned by RCB, but there may be a Scotiabank machine that I'm not aware of.

We sometimes stop at Jerky's in Mobay for some chicken and Red Stripes, after we leave the airport. There is a secure ScotiaBank ATM at the gas station next to Jerky's, where I usually stock up on Jamaican currency.

Don't change money at the airport.

Definitely do not recommend exchange money at airport. I prefer to get Ja cash out of bank machine, but surprised that bank machine at MoBay airport only gives US cash. I got money at Times Square ATM on Sunday morning with no problem.

There's one ATM on the left side of the taxi area. It's NCB

Yeah, last time we went, I realized the changing money at the airport isn't the way to go.

We stay at Alfred's, which is a short walk to Time Square so I always withdraw money there, but we won't be at the hotel until about 3:30 - 4:00pm on Thursday, and I'm a little concerned that the ATM may be out of money by then.

We are stopping by the Pork Pit on the way, does anyone know if there's an ATM near there?

Thanks for the feedback!

The ATM at the airport in the taxi area gave 114.50 on Saturday

There is also a standalone Scotiabank ATM in Negril, right outside the Petcom gas station by the Rutland Point Craft Market (in the Bloody Bay area). I sometimes stop there as we're heading into town and always find it loaded with money.

I always use one of the two outside (on the left as you go out the doors) and I get JA. I've never had a problem.

As per Sher, ATMs from two different banks to the left as U exit main doors. Cannot recall if either is Scotia. Keep ur boarding pass if U want to re-enter terminal. Can also get phone credit next to distant ATM! Happy trails!
