Banking:
The New Israeli Shekel – abbreviated as NIS, is Israel’s
currency. 1NIS = 100 agorot.
There are coins of 10 agorot, 50 agorot, and 1, 2, 5, 10 shekels.
There are banknotes of 20, 50, 100 and 200 shekels.
Money can be exchanged at any of the street exchange bureaus,
ATMs or any of Israel’s major banks
(i.e. - Hapoalim,
Leumi, Discount bank, and Hamizrahi).
Banks - When exchanging money at a bank, you will be charged
a fixed exchange fee,
and if you choose to use an exchange
place on the street, you will not be charged for the transaction,
but will receive a lower rate than one
offered by banks. If you do choose to use a bank,
try not to exchange money on Sundays. The
reason is that while the Israeli banks are open on Sundays,
there is no world currency trade on
Sunday, and the banks charge a commission that is higher
than on any other day of the week.
All major credit cards (Visa and Master Card/Eurocard, American Express and Diners Club)
are widely accepted throughout Israel.
Electricity:
The electrical current in Israel is 220 volt AC, 50 Hertz.
