Stating the need for a bank

🌍

Contexto cultural

Bulgarian banks usually have security guards at the entrance. Don't be intimidated; they are there to help with the queue system. Many banks in Bulgaria require a passport or a national ID for even simple currency exchanges. A driver's license is often not enough. The 'lunch break' is a real thing. Between 12:00 and 13:00, some smaller branches might close completely. Bulgarians often use the word 'банкомат' more frequently than 'банка' if they just need cash, as ATMs are everywhere.
