    Short answer

    Finavia lists currency exchange service points at Helsinki Airport that handle more than 40 currencies. There are also ATMs in the gate areas, at gates 14, 21, 23, 26, 32 and 34, which are open around the clock. A separate foreign currency ATM gives out some currencies other than euros.

    Why

    1. Finavia says the exchange service points handle more than 40 currencies.
    2. Finavia lists ATMs at gates 14, 21, 23, 26, 32 and 34, open 24/7.
    3. Finavia also lists an ATM that dispenses foreign currency.

    Details

    You may not need much cash at all. Trains, buses and most shops and restaurants in Finland accept bank cards.

    Tip

    Compare the rate with what your bank offers. Exchange desks often give a less favourable rate than a card payment.

    What may differ

    Service points, gate numbers and opening hours can change. Check Finavia's service list before you fly.

    Common misconception

    You need to change money at the airport because Finland runs on cash.

    What actually happens

    Cards are the usual way to pay in Finland. Cash is optional for most visitors.
