Sri Lanka has its own currency known as the Sri Lankan Rupee. Provided you have foreign currency, it is not a difficult task to exchange it as any bank along the road could do it. If you pay through your credit card on a regular basis, you can do the same in Sri Lanka too as the majority of shops and stores – in cities - accept payments through cards. If you want to withdraw cash, there are plenty of ATMs scattered throughout Kandy and most cities. However, ATMs are rarer when you leave outside the cities so its something to keep in mind. Some of the best hotels in Sri Lanka might be able to help with currency exchange.
