Currency & Fund Transfers 


 The currency in Tunisia is the Tunisian dinar (TND), which is divided into 1000 milimes.

As a reference, 1 Euro is approximately equal to 3.26 dinars (subject to exchange rate fluctuations).

Upon arrival in Tunisia, you can exchange your foreign currency at bank counters located in the airport (open 7 days a week) or at banks in the city.

  • One way to receive funds in Tunisia is to have bank transfers sent to an account opened in your name at a bank in the city of Sousse.​
  • Major foreign banks have correspondent banks in Tunisia where you can receive funds.
  • However, since bank transfers can take quite a long time (several weeks), it is advisable to bring enough cash or traveler’s checks to cover your expenses for at least two months.​
  • Transfers via Western Union are faster but more expensive.
