Arrivals (FAO) — International or Domestic (Single Terminal)
- After landing, follow airport signs for Arrivals.
- If your flight requires it, follow the flow through Passport Control (Schengen/non-Schengen procedures depend on your route).
- Proceed to Baggage Claim and collect your luggage.
- Before you fully exit, look around the baggage reclaim/arrivals corridor for signage that reads “ATM” (cash machines may be placed near restrooms and main walking paths).
- Continue to the terminal exit into the public Arrivals hall (landside).
- Once in the public Arrivals hall, slow down and scan for overhead signs that read “ATM”, “Cash Machine”, “Multibanco”, or “Bank”.
- Walk toward the nearest ATM area in the Arrivals hall and withdraw the cash you need (try to choose a Multibanco/MB machine if available).
- If you don’t see a machine immediately, walk a short loop: Arrivals exit doors → car rental desks → tourist/info desk area and keep following ATM signage.
- If you accidentally step outside first, re-enter the terminal through the Arrivals doors and follow the ATM signs again.
Departures (FAO) — Fastest Way to Find an ATM Before Your Flight
- Enter the terminal and follow signs for Departures / Check-in.
- In the check-in hall, look for a landside ATM area near the main walkways.
- If you specifically want the listed bank self-service point, follow signage for Essential Services and look for the Santander Automatic Service area Before Security – Floor 1.
- Withdraw your cash before you join the Security queue, so you’re not rushing after screening.
- If landside machines are busy or out of service, proceed through Security and check for an airside ATM area near the duty-free corridor or main gate walkway.
Quick FAO Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- If you are standing in the public Arrivals hall facing the exit doors to taxis/pick-up, you’re in the right zone to find at least one ATM area.
- If you are in Departures and can see the Security queue entrance, you’re close to the most convenient last-chance landside ATM spots.
- If you are airside and you can see duty free and the main passenger corridor toward gates, check nearby for ATM signage.
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Faro Airport (FAO), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Faro Airport (FAO)
- If you arrive late at night, prioritize the Arrivals hall (landside) ATMs first—these are usually the easiest to access even when shops are closed.
- At FAO, if you see a machine offering “Pay in your home currency,” choose EUR instead (decline DCC). This is especially important on prominent airport ATMs.
- If you can find a Multibanco (MB) machine in the Arrivals/Departures areas, it’s commonly the preferred option in Portugal versus independent operators.
- If the Arrivals hall machines are busy right after a flight lands, walk a short loop around the hall (car rental/information areas) to check for a second ATM area before leaving the building.
- Need currency exchange instead of an ATM? At FAO the Unicâmbio counter has published hours (09:00–20:00), so plan around that window.
- If you must withdraw outside the airport, head toward Faro city or Forum Algarve for more Multibanco machines and bank branches (often less crowded than the terminal).
- For a smoother exit, withdraw what you need before you go outside to taxis/ride pick-up—re-entering with luggage is possible, but it adds time.
FAQs – Faro Airport (FAO) ATMs
Does Faro Airport (FAO) have Multibanco ATMs?
Yes—travelers commonly report at least one Multibanco (MB) ATM in the Arrivals area, and the airport’s official information references Multibanco as Portugal’s nationwide ATM network.
Where is the easiest ATM to use right after landing at FAO?
The simplest option is usually the public Arrivals hall (landside) after you exit baggage reclaim. Look for overhead ATM signage before you walk outside.
Are there ATMs before Security at Faro Airport (FAO)?
Yes—financial services are listed Before Security – Floor 1, including a Santander Automatic Service area and a Unicâmbio counter.
Are airport ATMs at FAO open 24 hours?
Self-service ATMs typically operate whenever the terminal areas they’re in are accessible. While Faro Airport is often described as having 24-hour access, staffed services (like exchange counters) keep fixed hours—so expect the most consistent access in public Arrivals areas.

Leave the terminal and go toward Faro city or a major shopping area like Forum Algarve, where you’ll have multiple bank branches and Multibanco machines as backup.
Can I exchange cash instead of withdrawing at an ATM inside FAO?
Yes—FAO lists Unicâmbio (currency exchange) in the terminal with published operating hours (09:00–20:00).
