Some ‘wartels' (post and phone shops) are also bank agencies. As such they are also reliable money changers and recommended for changing travellers cheques because they accept photo copies of your passport which means the real one is back in the safe at your hotel. There are many Wartels in districts all over Bali. Generally open at 6 am to service the locals.
Pt. Bali Maspintjinra are the ones we always try to use. Never had a problem here.
They are at 16 Raya Seminyak;
Jl Legian Tengah No438B;
Jl Sriwijaya No2, Kuta;
Jl Danu Tamblingan No18, Sanur, about 60 paces south of the Sindhu Beach markets. How handy is that?
and also in Lombok on Raya Sengiggi, Km13.
If you ask at your hotel desk or your driver they will probably know which is the closest one.
