How it works
Standalone ATMs installed inside gift shops and convenience stores along Grace Bay Road and Leeward Highway apply undisclosed surcharges of $8–$15 USD per withdrawal on top of standard foreign transaction fees, sometimes totaling 10–15% of the withdrawal amount. A smaller number of these machines have been found fitted with skimming overlays that capture card data. Bank-branded machines in resort lobbies are generally safer but are still targeted during peak season. Victims often don't notice until reviewing statements after returning home.
