French Polynesia Money
The French Polynesia currency is the Cour de Franc Pacifique (CFP) also known as the Pacific Franc and is used in French Polynesia, New Caledonia and Wallis & Futuna.

The main banks are Bank of French Polynesia, Bank of Polynesia and the Banque de Socredo with outlets around French Polynesia, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea and Bora Bora. The outer islands have few banking facilities but resorts will exchange travellers cheques and allow payments by credit cards. Most credit cards and travellers cheques are readily and there are ATM machines (or DAB's in French) around the main island of French Polynesia and on Moorea.


Tourism taxes are widespread and are payable in two different forms, sojourn taxes and VAT. Hotel room taxes amount to 8% but are not applicable to pensions / guesthouses. Make sure the rates quoted to you on hotel rooms and tourist activities include these taxes.
