International Arrivals (NBO) — Terminal 1A
- After landing, follow the airport signs for Arrivals and Immigration / Passport Control.
- If you are transferring, watch for signs to the Transfer Desk—some ATMs are positioned in this arrivals/transfer corridor.
- Continue to Immigration and complete passport control.
- Proceed to Baggage Reclaim and collect your luggage.
- Before leaving the secure arrivals flow, look for ATMs inside the baggage hall (this is a common placement point at Terminal 1A).
- Continue to Customs and complete the exit process.
- As soon as you step into the public arrivals side (landside), slow down and look for signage reading “ATM” and the logos of major Kenyan banks.
- If the first ATM you see is busy, walk a short distance along the arrivals concourse—ATMs are often installed in more than one spot in the public arrivals area.
- Withdraw what you need (ATMs typically dispense KES) before heading outside to your pick-up / taxi / rideshare point.
International Arrivals (NBO) — Terminal 1E
- After landing at Terminal 1E, follow signs for Arrivals and proceed toward Immigration.
- Before joining immigration queues, scan the corridor for ATM signage—Terminal 1E commonly has ATMs positioned before immigration.
- Complete Immigration and walk into the Baggage Reclaim hall.
- In the baggage hall, check near the service edges (walls/ends of belts) where ATMs are commonly installed.
- Proceed through Customs.
- Once you enter the public arrivals side (landside), look for ATMs and bank counters clustered near the main flow out of the terminal.
- If you plan to pay for transport in cash, withdraw here before you exit to the curb or parking areas.
Departures (NBO) — Terminal 1A / 1B / 1C
- Enter your departure terminal and complete check-in as needed.
- If you prefer cash before security, look for any landside ATM points in the check-in/forecourt corridors.
- Clear Security and proceed into the airside departures concourse.
- Follow signs toward Gate 15—an ATM point is commonly referenced near this gate area for several terminals.
- Withdraw any last-minute cash you need before continuing to your gate.
Quick NBO Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- Terminal 1A/1E: If you’re walking between Immigration, Baggage Reclaim, and Customs, you’re in the exact corridor where ATMs are frequently placed.
- Public arrivals side: If you can see the exit doors, meet-and-greet area, or the curbside beyond the glass, turn slightly back into the hall and scan for ATM signage.
- Departures: If you’re already airside and can see gate numbers, use wayfinding toward Gate 15 zones for ATM access (where available).
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport (NBO), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport (NBO)
- Target the arrivals-side ATMs first at Terminal 1A/1E: If you need cash for transport immediately after landing, the most practical ATMs are typically in the arrivals flow (before immigration, baggage hall, and just after customs), because you’ll pass them naturally on your way out.
- Know which terminal you’re in: NBO’s Terminal 1 complex is split into sections (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E). If you can’t find an ATM in one section, ask staff which direction leads to Terminal 1A or 1E arrivals—these areas are commonly referenced for cash access.
- Plan for KES withdrawals: ATMs at JKIA typically dispense Kenyan Shillings (KES). If you arrive with USD/EUR and plan to exchange, consider using an ATM for KES first, then compare FX counter rates only if you need a different approach.
- Expect an on-screen surcharge prompt: Some Kenyan bank ATMs apply a surcharge for foreign cards. At NBO, always read the fee prompt carefully and cancel if the charge is higher than you’re comfortable with—then try a different bank’s ATM in the same hall.
- Have a backup inside the airport: If an arrivals ATM is out of service, your quickest backup is often another ATM point in the same processing chain (e.g., baggage hall vs after customs) rather than leaving the terminal.
- Use the Parking Garage Level 0 ATM point if you’ve already stepped outside: If you’re heading to parking/meet-and-greet and realize you still need cash, check the Parking Garage Building Level 0 area before you commit to a longer walk or a taxi ride.
- Airside ATMs are best for departures, not arrivals: ATMs near gate areas (such as around Gate 15 where referenced) are only useful if you’re a departing passenger and already through security—don’t rely on them as your first cash plan after landing.
- If you’re landing late night: Focus on ATMs in the arrivals halls and the Terminal 1E international arrivals zone (often the most traveler-services oriented), and keep your withdrawal amount modest until you’re settled.
FAQs – Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport (NBO) ATMs
Are there ATMs in multiple terminals at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport (NBO)?
Yes. ATMs are commonly referenced across the Terminal 1 complex (including Terminal 1A and Terminal 1E for international arrivals areas), with additional ATM points noted in departures areas (including near gate zones).
Where is the easiest place to withdraw cash right after clearing Immigration and Customs at NBO?
The easiest place is typically the public arrivals side just after Customs in Terminal 1A or Terminal 1E, because ATMs and money services are commonly positioned in the arrivals hall where passengers exit to transport.
Do JKIA/NBO airport ATMs dispense Kenyan Shillings (KES)?
Yes, airport ATMs commonly dispense KES. If you need cash for transport and small purchases, withdrawing KES at the airport is usually the fastest option.
Can I find ATMs before Immigration at NBO?
In some terminal flows (notably Terminal 1A and Terminal 1E), ATMs are commonly referenced before immigration and again around baggage reclaim—useful if you want cash as early as possible in the arrival process.
Are there ATMs in baggage reclaim at NBO?
Yes, ATMs are commonly referenced within the baggage hall areas in international-arrivals terminals (such as Terminal 1A and Terminal 1E), which can be convenient while you wait for luggage.
Are NBO airport ATMs open 24 hours?
Many airport ATMs can be available around the clock, but practical access depends on whether the specific terminal area is open at the time you arrive. Airside/gate-area ATMs only work if you can access departures security.
How much are ATM fees at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta Airport (NBO)?
Fees depend on the ATM operator and your home bank. Some machines may add an operator surcharge for foreign cards, and your bank may also charge an overseas withdrawal fee—always confirm the total fee on-screen before you accept.
What if the first ATM I try at NBO is out of cash or declines my card?
Try a different bank’s ATM in the same terminal hall (especially in the arrivals sequence: before immigration, baggage hall, after customs). If needed, use the Parking Garage Level 0 ATM point or a nearby ATM along Airport South Road before leaving the airport area.
