Where Can I Exchange Money in Belize?
You can exchange money at any bank or at the airport. It is cheaper to buy Belizean currency than it is to sell it, so try to only purchase as much Belizean cash as you’re going to use. Make sure to exchange your money at the international airport before you return home – it’s difficult to exchange Belizean currency outside of the country.
There are private moneychangers who will approach you at the borders near Guatemala and Mexico. Sometimes they offer good rates, but these transactions are riskier than dealing with a bank.
If you have a bankcard on you, you can withdraw Belizean money from ATMs. ATMs are widely available.
