Most banks in the US open at 9:00 and close between 3:00 and 5:00, but stay open later on Fridays. Some banks have longer hours in order to attract customers.

What's the best way to carry money safely while you are travelling? There are three possibilities - personal checks from your country, traveller's checks and credit cards. Some American banks accept foreign checks such as Euro cheques; the problem is that only banks that are used to dealing with foreigners will know what Eurocheques are. It may be more convenient to carry traveller's checks, which are insured against loss. They should be in dollars, because only a few banks do much business in foreign currencies. If your checks are not in dollars, it may take you a long time to find a bank that will exchange them. You can use traveller's checks almost anywhere - in restaurants, stores or ticket offices - without having to go to a bank. If you run out of them, you can buy more at most banks. Their service charge will vary, though, so ask what it is before you buy your checks.

Americans would say the best way to carry money is to have a major credit card like Visa, MasterCard or American Express, Credit cards can be cancelled if they are lost or stolen. And because they are widely accepted in the US, it is easy to use them to pay for lodging, transportation, meals and things you want to buy from larger stores. Of course, you can't get along without cash, but you don't need to earn much with you.
