CloseOn Isla Santa Cruz, in Academy Bay, the ATM machines near the ferry terminal, restaurants, and shops charge a transaction fee of $4.95 and you can only withdraw $100 at a time.
However, on the other side of town, in an area not visited by tourists, the ATMs at the local bank charge $4.95 per transaction and you can withdraw $500 in each transaction. Just ask one of the National Park Tour Guides which bank they use and they will direct you.
Banco Pacifico is just past Ave. Indefatigable on Ave Charles Darwin (Malecon). It is advisable to use the bank counter service to obtain money rather than the ATMs (problems with scamming).

Important information for all cruisers who are planning to visit Galapagos Islands: when choosing the agent never ever go for Ronny Sanches, Tironne S.A. We have a very bad experience in March 2018, our passports as well as boat passport was stolen from his office and he even didn’t inform us about that immediately. His phone numbers and office address are wrong in his business card and it was very difficult to cooperate with him.
in fact we traveled in the month of October, and that agent took care of us perfect, besides that we saved budget, unlike other local agents of galapagos.
