Currency in Iceland

Currency
Icelandic Króna (ISK)
Symbol
kr
ATM availability
ATMs exist in towns but are rarely necessary given universal card acceptance.
Card acceptance
Cards are accepted everywhere — fuel pumps, guesthouses, buses and remote attractions all take cards.

Overview

Iceland uses the króna and is almost entirely cashless, with cards accepted even in remote areas.

Exchange tips

There's little need to carry cash; withdraw small amounts only if needed and decline home-currency conversion.

Notes

A card with a PIN is essential for unattended fuel pumps. Tipping is not expected.
