ATMs -- There are a number of bank offices ringing Psar Nath, and each bank has an ATM. Canadia Bank has the lowest charges.
Banks & Currency Exchange -- Canadia Bank (tel. 053/952-267; open Mon-Fri 8am-3pm, Sat 8-11:30am), UCB (tel. 053/952-552; open Mon-Fri 8am-3pm), and ANZ (tel. 053/953-830; open Mon-Fri 8:30am-4pm) are situated around Psar Nath.

All of these banks cash traveler's checks, exchange major foreign currencies, and issue advances on Visa and MasterCard. There are also money-changers in Psar Nath itself. There is no real reason to use them unless you are caught cashless out of banking hours and you don't have an ATM card.
Business Hours -- Business hours are generally between 7am and 7pm from Monday to Friday. In the center of town some shops may stay open a little later.
