Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL) ATMs Walkthrough & Map
Follow the step-by-step walkthrough below to find ATMs when arriving at Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL). For terminal maps and official airport info, visit Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL) map/homepage.
Arrivals (all flights) — Landside ATMs after you exit to the public hall
- After landing, follow the overhead signs for Arrivals and then Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage and continue toward the passenger exit.
- If you arrived from a non-Schengen destination, complete Passport Control first, then proceed to baggage claim and the exit.
- Once you enter the public Arrivals hall (landside), slow down and look for overhead signs reading “ATM”, “Otto”, “Nosto”, or “FOREX”.
- Most travelers find the easiest cash machines in this public zone because it’s where transport, meeting points, and exits converge.
- If you specifically want an Otto machine (EUR cash), search for Otto on the official airport map, then follow the route guidance.
- If you specifically want a FOREX Currency ATM (selected foreign currencies), search for FOREX Currency ATM on the airport map and follow the route (often in Departures hall and some gate areas).
- Withdraw what you need before heading to trains, buses, taxis, or pick-up areas—Finland is very card-friendly, so many travelers only need a small amount of cash.
Schengen gates (airside) — Fastest option if you already passed security
- If you’re already airside (e.g., connecting), follow signs to your gate area (e.g., Gate 17A, Gate 26, Gate 28).
- Look for Otto branding on machines and the “ATM” pictogram on overhead signs.
- Use the official airport map search for ATM and set your current location (or pick a nearby landmark) to get the quickest route.
- At gate areas, ATMs can be slightly off the main walkway near seating zones, stair cores, or restrooms—scan the edges of the concourse as you approach your gate.
- Withdraw EUR before you head to lounges, boarding areas, or onward connections.
Non-Schengen gates (after passport control) — Where to find currency ATMs near long-haul gates
- For non-Schengen departures, follow signs to Passport Control (border check).
- After passport control, continue toward the non-Schengen gate area (e.g., gates 44–49, Gate 50).
- In these gate zones, look for FOREX Currency ATM machines if you want certain foreign currencies (availability varies by machine).
- If you only need EUR, look for standard ATM / Otto signage in the same airside area.
- If a machine is out of service, use the airport map search again—HEL is large enough that the next ATM may be only a few minutes away.
Quick HEL landmarks that mean you’re close
- Landside: If you’re in the public Arrivals hall near exits, meeting points, or transport links, you’re in the most common ATM zone.
- Schengen airside: If you can see gate signage like 17A, 26, or 28, you’re in known ATM gate areas.
- Non-Schengen airside: If you’ve just passed Passport Control and see gate numbers in the 40s/50, you’re in the long-haul area where currency ATMs are typically placed.
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)
- Expect a different fee experience depending on your card: Finavia notes that Otto ATMs don’t charge Finnish-card users a direct ATM fee, but foreign-card users may be shown an operator access fee during the transaction flow—always read the on-screen fee message before confirming. (This is especially important at HEL because many visitors arrive with non-Finnish cards.)
- Use landside Arrivals for the simplest withdrawal after landing: If you’re arriving and need cash for transport, aim for the public Arrivals hall first—this is where ATM signage is most obvious and you’re not limited by gate-area access.
- If you’re departing long-haul, plan currency withdrawals after passport control: For non-Schengen departures, some currency ATMs are positioned in the non-Schengen gate areas (e.g., gate zones in the 40s/50), so you may prefer to withdraw after border checks to avoid carrying extra cash longer than necessary.
- HEL is highly cashless—withdraw smaller amounts unless you know you need more: In and around Helsinki/Vantaa, cards and mobile payments are widely accepted, so many travelers only need a small buffer for tips, small kiosks, or emergencies.
- Gate-area ATMs can be slightly off the main path: Around Schengen gates (like 17A/26/28), ATMs may be near seating bays or service corridors—if you don’t see one immediately, scan the edges of the concourse and check the official map search for “ATM.”
- If a machine declines your card, switch operator first before leaving the terminal: HEL typically has more than one ATM brand/service point. Trying another machine (or moving from gate area to landside) can be faster than troubleshooting with your bank mid-journey.
FAQs – Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL) ATMs
Do ATMs at Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL) charge a fee?
Finavia explains that Otto ATMs don’t charge a direct ATM fee for Finnish-card users, while foreign-card users may be shown an ATM operator access fee during the transaction, displayed before you confirm the withdrawal.
Are there 24-hour ATMs inside Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)?
Yes—airport ATMs are commonly available 24/7, and public sources describe Otto and other machines at HEL as available around the clock. If you need certainty for a specific machine, use the official HEL map to confirm the nearest ATM and its current status.
Where are the easiest ATMs to find right after arriving?
For most passengers, the easiest place is the public Arrivals hall (landside) after you exit baggage claim. This area concentrates passenger services and signage, making “ATM / Otto / Nosto” signs easier to spot.
Can I withdraw foreign currency at HEL, not just euros?
Yes—HEL has FOREX Currency ATMs in selected areas (including Departures hall and some gate areas). Currency availability can vary by machine, so it’s smart to target the nearest FOREX Currency ATM and check the on-screen options.
I’m departing from a non-Schengen gate—should I withdraw cash before or after passport control?
If you want convenience and flexibility, withdraw landside in the Departures/Arrivals public areas. If you prefer to carry less cash for longer, you can withdraw after passport control in the non-Schengen gate areas where currency ATMs may also be located.
What if the ATM is out of service or there’s a line?
Use the official HEL map search for “ATM,” then select a different ATM a few minutes away (e.g., moving between landside public areas and nearby gate zones). HEL’s terminal is large, so there are usually alternative machines within walking distance.
