Piarco Airport (POS) ATMs Walkthrough & Map

Follow the step-by-step walkthrough below to find ATMs when arriving at Piarco Airport (POS). For terminal maps and official airport info, visit Piarco Airport (POS) map/homepage.

International Arrivals (POS / North Terminal)

  1. After landing, follow the airport signs for Immigration.
  2. Complete immigration processing, then proceed to Baggage Claim.
  3. Collect your luggage and continue through Customs.
  4. After customs, enter the public terminal area and look for signs toward the Terminal Atrium.
  5. Piarco’s officially listed ATMs are grouped in the terminal Atrium, so prioritize finding the Atrium rather than searching gate areas.
  6. Once in the Atrium, look for the bank-branded machines: Republic Bank, Scotiabank, RBC, Eastern Credit Union, and First Citizens.
  7. If one machine declines your card, try another bank ATM in the same Atrium cluster before leaving the terminal.
  8. Withdraw cash before heading outside to taxi pick-up, rideshare, or private transfer meeting points.
  9. If the Atrium machines are busy or temporarily unavailable, continue your journey and use a nearby bank ATM in Piarco / Trincity shortly after exiting the airport area.

Domestic / Regional Arrivals (POS)

  1. After landing, follow signs for Arrivals and Baggage Claim (if applicable for your flight).
  2. Move into the public terminal area and follow directional signs to the Atrium.
  3. At POS, the easiest ATM strategy is to go directly to the Terminal Atrium ATM cluster instead of searching multiple terminal zones.
  4. Use the Atrium machines in this order if you want backups quickly: RBL → Scotiabank → RBC → First Citizens / ECU (or whichever line is shortest).
  5. Withdraw cash before you head outside to parking, taxis, or pick-up lanes.
  6. If you are already outside, re-enter the terminal and return to the Atrium for the official on-airport ATM cluster.

Quick POS Landmarks That Mean You’re Close

  • If you see signs for the Atrium, you’re heading to the correct area—this is where the airport officially lists the ATMs.
  • If you’re in the public terminal zone after Customs/Arrivals, you are only a short walk from the ATM cluster.
  • If you are already at the taxi / pick-up area outside, you’ve likely passed the easiest ATM location—go back inside and follow signs to the Atrium.

Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Piarco Airport (POS), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.

ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Piarco Airport (POS)

  • Go straight to the Terminal Atrium first. At POS, the airport officially lists the ATMs as being in the terminal Atrium, so this is the fastest and most reliable place to start after arrival.
  • POS has a single main on-airport ATM cluster, not lots of scattered terminal machines. If a queue is long or a machine is offline, try another bank in the same Atrium cluster before leaving the building.
  • Try a different bank brand if your foreign card fails. POS offers five different institutions in the Atrium (RBL, Scotiabank, RBC, Eastern Credit Union, First Citizens), which gives you multiple network compatibility chances in one place.
  • Withdraw enough for transport before exiting. It’s easier to handle airport taxis/private transfers once you have TTD cash from the Atrium ATMs, especially if your driver prefers cash or you want small bills.
  • If you arrive during a busy arrival bank, use the shortest line, not a specific bank first. Since all official airport ATMs are grouped in the Atrium, speed is usually better than waiting for one preferred machine.
  • Keep a backup plan in Trincity/Piarco. If the Atrium machines are temporarily unavailable, nearby commercial areas (especially Trincity) offer multiple bank ATMs within a short drive from POS.
  • Expect local ATM fees and possible foreign-card fees. The POS airport machine may charge an operator fee, and your home bank may add out-of-network or foreign transaction charges. Withdrawing fewer times can reduce total fees.
  • Check your card network logos before joining a long line. Some travelers do better with one bank’s machine than another; quickly checking the ATM sticker (Visa/Mastercard/Cirrus/etc.) can save time.
  • Use daylight / staffed hours for problem-solving. If you need help after a failed transaction, it’s usually easier to resolve details during normal banking hours in nearby Trincity or Port of Spain than at the airport after midnight.
  • Save the receipt and note “Terminal Atrium” if anything goes wrong. That location detail helps your bank identify the transaction and machine operator faster.

How many ATMs are inside Piarco Airport (POS)?
Piarco Airport officially lists five (5) ATMs in the terminal, and they are located in the terminal Atrium.

Which banks have ATMs inside Piarco Airport (POS)?
The airport lists these five in the Atrium: Republic Bank Limited (RBL), Scotiabank, RBC Financial (Caribbean), Eastern Credit Union, and First Citizens Bank.

Where should I go first for cash after arriving at POS?
Go to the Terminal Atrium. That is the airport’s official ATM area and the easiest on-airport place to compare several bank ATMs in one stop.

Are POS airport ATMs available 24 hours?
Availability can be long/extended, but exact uptime may depend on terminal public access and individual machine status. The safest assumption is to use them while the terminal is active and have a nearby Piarco/Trincity backup ATM plan.

What if all ATMs in the POS Atrium are busy or unavailable?
Use a nearby ATM in Piarco or Trincity, which are close to the airport and have multiple bank branches/ATMs along the main commercial corridors.

Does POS have ATMs in multiple terminals or gate areas?
The airport’s official service listing specifically points travelers to the Terminal Atrium for ATMs, rather than a large number of scattered gate-area ATM points.

Should I exchange money at POS or use the ATM?
If your card works, many travelers prefer an ATM withdrawal in TTD (Trinidad and Tobago dollars) for convenience and potentially better rates than airport currency exchange, but compare your bank fees before deciding.
