Credit Cards Acceptability :
In Gambia most of the major credit cards are accepted in many of the hotels and lodges. Some of the larger well established restaurants will also take them.  Do contact your hotel whether they will accept them before travelling.
The majority of banks accept credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard & American Express. Charges for foreign exchange vary from each institution so it's worth shopping around. However, if you are changing a large amount they are prepared to improve their rates on-the-spot for you.

ATM Cash Machines:
Some cards can be used to withdraw money from most of the major Gambian banks which have ATM cash machines. Standard Chartered cash points will accept your Visa card at any of its local dispensing machines.  You sometimes have to make many withdrawals as the amount dispensed per withdrawal is often limited to a set maximum amount (often D2,000). Debit cards can sometimes be used however, you should note that fees are charged per transaction so it my prove quite costly if you need to make multiple withdrawals.
If an ATM machine happens to have run out of cash after closing hours do try another branch & if it is the weekend roaming staff do often re-fill them a couple of times during the day, & sometimes in the early evenings. And finally, you may come across an "out-of-order message". This may not be the case. Be patient as it could be up and running a few minutes later!

Black Market Rates:
Tourists are advised to give a wide berth from local money changers who operate in the so called Parallel Market. Many locals used to change bills on the black market particularly at Serrekunda's Westfield Junction to get a better rate than they would have at the officially recognised exchange bureaus. This has become less common now (though some still operate under cover) since the activity of these people was at first regulated then officially outlawed.

Foreign Exchange Services:
There are many foreign exchange services particularly around the Kololi area. They are often faster  and can often give you the best rates than you can get from a bank. Do be wary of signs that say zero commission as what you should look out for are the rates they have on offer offer. These are normally posted outside on the street on small signboards. For large amounts be prepared to haggle hard to get yourself the best deal and if they refuse to budge from their advertised rates then be prepared to move on to the next firm.

Formerly known as Pipeline Road the Kairaba Avenue was named after the Gambia's former President Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara. It runs eastwards from the Total petrol station on the Atlantic coast and terminates at the monument at Westfield in Serrekunda. The reason it used to be called Pipeline Rd. was because it is so long (3 Km). It transects Fajara M and F sections. The road itself is lined with banks, restaurants, mobile telephone companies, fashion shops and other retail outlets. The year 2006 saw the installation of street lights running most of the length of this road terminating at the traffic lights.
 
It is the main thoroughfare which runs in a relatively straight line from the 2 monuments at Westfield Junction up past Kairaba Shopping Centre in a north easterly direction up to Mama's Restaurant. On the south east end of Kairaba Avenue is more or less the Serrekunda / Latrikunda section which has the Post Office, Africell, Latrikunda School, LG Electronics. Once you get past the Africell headquarters you go past the Ecobank, FIB, Elton Petrol Station, Le Palais du Chocolat (sells cakes & ice cream), Photo Express, La Parisienne (a patisserie retailer) and the new Access Bank on the left hand side. About 100 m further down on the right side is the US Peace Corps building shortly followed by the American Embassy which is opposite GT Bank.

Still going north east you come across MP Trading, Prime Stationery, St. Mary's Food & Wine and at the traffic light junction there are 2 main landmarks which are the Standard Chartered House and the Shell Petrol Station at the intersection. After 10am this area is full of billboards, street peddlers, beggars, fruit sellers, taxis and chancers. Immediately further down from this point it becomes more relaxed and quieter as the roadside is full of more residential houses. The first place you see is the Kairaba Police Station on the right and further down to your left is the Sankung Sillah building (one of the tallest buildings in The Gambia). Soon you reach the Bakau New Town junction (Sabena Junction) on your right which leads you into Bakau New Town and towards Banjul. After this junction are a row of shops and restaurants including The Emporium Shopping Mall, The Butcher's Shop (restaurant), Weezos, The Cotton Club, Euro Gambia Homes, Pipper's kids clothes shop,  Francisco's and Mama's restaurant. At this point you have hit the end of the road junction and ahead of you is the Atlantic Boulevard.

You can get to the ocean by carrying on in a straight line uphill on a dirt road and down to Leybato.
