Like other members of the European Monetary Union (EMU), Austria’s currency is the euro, which is divided into 100 cents. There are coins for one, two, five, 10, 20 and 50 cents and for €1 and €2. Notes come in denominations of €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500. (€200 and €500 banknotes are not accepted in everyday circulation.)

In Austria, ATMs are known as Bankomaten. They are extremely common and are accessible till midnight, some are 24 hours.

Visa, EuroCard and MasterCard are accepted a little more widely than American Express (Amex) and Diners Club.
