How to spend money in Cyprus
Cyprus is card-friendly, especially in tourist areas. Cash is still useful in local markets, villages, and for taxis. Both debit and credit cards are widely accepted. Tip: Always choose to pay in local currency (EUR) to avoid extra conversion charges. With TransferGo, you can spend confidently and save on hidden bank fees.
Tips for exchanging money in Cyprus
ATMs are common: though fees may apply.
Cash useful for rural areas: not all small businesses take cards.
Avoid hotel/airport exchange: expensive rates.
Budget tip: tourist zones are card-ready, but carry euros for villages.
With TransferGo, you can send money directly to Cyprus or spend and withdraw locally with your GoCard.

I have used TransferGo around 250 times over a period of about 10 years. I had to contact customer support only three times, and that was solely for verification purposes. So far, they have never let me down. They offer many payment options, and the money is always fully under control. It is a real pleasure working with this company, especially considering I have been using them for over a decade, very few services can boast such stability and reliability. A sincere thank you to everyone on the TransferGo team!
