Serbian Dinar (RSD)
Currency code: RSD
Practical Money Tips
Serbian Dinar (RSD) — Not Eurozone
Serbia uses the Serbian dinar (RSD). The euro is not legal tender, but it is widely accepted at tourist-facing businesses in Belgrade and Novi Sad, often at a slightly unfavourable rate. Exchange euros or other currencies at banks or official exchange offices for better rates.
ATMs Plentiful in Cities
Banca Intesa, UniCredit, Raiffeisen, and Erste Bank have widespread ATM networks in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, and other cities. Smaller towns are well served. Rural areas and national parks may have limited access.
Cards Widely Accepted — Watch for DCC
Visa and Mastercard are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops. Apple Pay and Google Pay are growing in acceptance, particularly in Belgrade. Beware of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) at ATMs — always choose to pay in RSD to avoid inflated exchange rates.
Cash for Markets, Villages, and Small Vendors
Local markets, village restaurants, rural buses, and some guesthouses are cash-only. Carry RSD for day-to-day expenses. Small denominations (200, 500 RSD) are useful for taxis and markets.
Note: Always check current exchange rates before traveling. Currency exchange is available at airports, banks, and authorized money changers.
