First time visit.....arrived with quetzals, but need to replenish....have heard of past ATM scams in Antigua.

Are all safe now....are some more safe than others???

Appreciate any tips/info.

Hi,
The police caught some bands doing the ATM scam and the banks have been improving control
we didn't hear anything lately so I would say it is safe now.. You can always ask in the bank to go with you or to get cash advance directly inside the bank if it is open .. Some do that.
