Banks, Credit Cards, ATMs
Credit cards are well accepted at hotels, major stores and better restaurants in Panama City. Outside Panama City, in general, cash will be necessary.
You can get a cash advance on your credit card at most major Panamanian banks and ATMs; make sure you have your passport for ID.
Because of counterfeit problems, most Panamanian businesses will not accept bills over $20.

Clothing Requirements
Panamanians themselves, especially the women, are generally well-dressed and beautifully groomed. 100% cotton fabrics are the most comfortable in the tropics.
