About Tonga

Tonga Finance

Banking

There are three major banks on Tongatapu, ANZ Bank, MBF Bank and Westpac Bank. There are also several ATM’s in Nuku’alofa and Fua’amotu International Airport. All the ATM’s are currently operated by ANZ or Westpac.

Currency can be exchanged by all the major banks as well as the EM Jones Travel Centre, Western Union and others.

Currency

The pa’anga is the currency used in Tonga. The pa’anga is divided into 100 seniti. A pa’anga is often referred to in English as a dollar and seniti as cents. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 seniti and notes have values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100.

There are no restrictions on the amount of local currency (pa’anga) or foreign currency that can be brought in or out of the country.

Tipping

Tipping is not expected in Tonga; however no offence will be taken if excellent service is rewarded in this way. Bargaining is not practiced and the asked price is what the seller expects to receive.
