Paying in Morocco

Cash, cards and local payments

Cash use

Moroccan dirhams circulate through the cash system overseen by Bank Al-Maghrib and remain important for local purchases.

Card acceptance

Card and account-based services are available through participating banks and payment institutions.

Contactless payments

Electronic acceptance varies by merchant, so cash can still be useful outside locations set up for card payments.

ATM availability

ATMs supply local currency; foreign-card support, limits and charges depend on the operator and issuer.
