Tema - Post Report Question and Answers

Are credit cards widely accepted and safe to use locally? Are ATMs common and do you recommend using them? Are they safe to use?

I wouldn't. My one time use of a credit card in Ghana at a well respected travel agent caused a giant hassle when a computer and software were then purchased with my card number. Fortunately, my credit card company intercepted and reached me in time to prevent the purchase and closed the account number. Trust me, not even in a big five-star hotel would I use my US credit card. - Dec 2006
