Banks in Alaska have the same features as they do in the Lower 48. In fact, most of the banks are part of national or regional chains.
Automated teller machines are found at many banks and savings and loan offices, as well as at grocery stores, gas stations and some hotels. Some ATMs have fees of $1 to $3, in addition to any charges from your home bank.
Visa and MasterCard are accepted statewide. Quite a few businesses also accept Discover and American Express. Traveler's checks are usually accepted.
Canadian money may not be accepted at many businesses, although many Canadian businesses along the Alaska Highway take U.S. money.
Larger banks may be able to change currency.
