No. The official currency of Indonesia is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), and cash payments in Singapore Dollars (SGD) are not accepted in Bintan.

This rule is set by the Indonesian government, which requires all cash transactions within Indonesia to be made in Indonesian Rupiah.

Most resorts in Bintan accept VISA, MasterCard, and American Express, making card payments convenient during your stay.

Many restaurants within resort areas, including popular seafood restaurants, also accept card payments.

However, once you travel outside resort zones, payment options become more limited.

Local restaurants and small eateries (warungs) usually accept cash only, and payments must be made in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

For this reason, carrying some Rupiah is highly recommended.

If you need cash, ATMs are available at ferry terminals, Lagoi food courts, the Tanjung Pinang city area, and at several hotels within the Bintan Resort area.

Preparing some Indonesian Rupiah in advance will help ensure a smooth and comfortable travel experience in Bintan.
