You can change money in most banks. The GWK Travelex Exchange Bureau at Rotterdam Centraal (the central station) offers a good exchange rate. Changing your money at hotels and some other foreign exchange shops is more expensive. Online currency converter banks are open on weekdays from 09:00 \u2013 17:00. Some banks are also open on Saturdays from 10:00 \u2013 16:00, and on Thursday evenings from 17:00 \u2013 20:00.<\/p>\n<div id=\"cc\"><\/div>\n<h3>Credit Cards<\/h3>\n<p>All major credit cards are accepted widely, but not everywhere. Some shops and restaurants do not accept credit cards. If in doubt, ask in advance. Cash-on-card services are available from selected American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa addresses. These cards are also accepted by all GWK Travelex locations and other exchange bureaus. You will find the GWK Travelex locations at Rotterdam Central Station and Schiphol Airport.<\/p>\n<div id=\"business\"><\/div>\n<h3>Business Hours<\/h3>\n<p>Most shops and banks are open Monday-Sunday from 10:00 \u2013 18:00, although many places remain closed until after lunch on Mondays.
