Banks

Visitors can access banks in the Outer Hebrides in most of the main settlements.

There are Western Isles banks on Lewis, Harris, North Uist, South Uist, Benbecula and Barra.

Visitors needing to access cashpoints and banking facilities on our islands are advised to remember it is best to withdraw cash in the Western Isles when visiting one of the main settlements as there is less banking provision outwith these areas.

Cash points in the Outer Hebrides can be found at Western Isles bank branches as well is in a few other selected locations. Visitors with the opportunity to withdraw money at these ATMs are advised to take enough cash to cover their needs until they next have access to banking especially if planning to travel in rural areas.

Some retail outlets and hotels on these Scottish islands offer cashback or cheque cashing services for visitors in need of money – if in doubt please ask a customer assistant for help with nearest cash machines and how to withdraw cash in the Outer Hebrides.

If you need further assistance with cash machine locations in the Outer Hebrides you can pop into one of the visitor information centres, where staff will be happy to advise you on finding Outer Hebrides ATMs and Western Isles Banks.
