Follow the step-by-step walkthrough below to find ATMs when arriving at Santiago Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL). For terminal maps and official airport info, visit Santiago Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL) map/homepage.
International Arrivals (T2) — Fastest Route to the First ATMs
- After landing, follow overhead signs for Arrivals and Immigration / Passport Control.
- Complete Immigration, then continue to Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage and proceed to Customs / SAG inspection (agricultural control).
- After clearing Customs/SAG, you will exit into the public Arrivals hall (landside).
- As soon as you enter the public Arrivals hall, slow down and scan for signs that say “ATM” or “Cajero”.
- If you don’t immediately see an ATM, walk toward the official ground transportation counters and the main exit doors—ATMs are commonly placed along these high-traffic lanes.
- For the most “known” banking point, head to the 2nd floor public hall and look for the ATM area opposite Door 6.
- Withdraw your cash before heading outside to taxi/transfer pick-up—this reduces the chance of needing to return to the terminal later.
Domestic Arrivals (T1) — Most Common ATM Zones
- After landing, follow signs for Arrivals and Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage, then follow the flow to the exit into the public Domestic Arrivals hall (landside).
- In the public Arrivals hall, look for signage reading “ATM” or “Cajero”.
- Check the areas around service/payment counters and main exits—ATMs are often positioned where passengers pause for services.
- If you’re heading to buses, scan the lanes that point toward the airport bus / shuttle exits—there are commonly ATMs along that public-hall circulation path.
- If you can’t find one on the arrivals level, go up to the departures/check-in level and check near airline counters (ATMs are often placed near check-in zones).
Quick SCL Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- T2 (International): If you’ve just exited Customs/SAG into the public arrivals hall, you’re in the best zone to find the first ATMs.
- T2 (International): “Door 6” on the 2nd floor public hall is a key landmark for a known ATM/banking point.
- T1 (Domestic): If you’ve just exited baggage claim into the public hall and can see the main exits, you’re in the right “public hall” zone—scan for ATM/Cajero signs near service/payment areas.
- If you’re already outside at the pick-up lanes, the fastest fix is to re-enter the terminal and follow ATM / Cajero signs back into the public halls.

ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Santiago Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL)
- Expect a visible “ATM usage fee” on-screen at SCL: Chilean bank ATMs commonly add a local operator fee. Read the confirmation screen carefully before you accept.
- If you only need a small amount of cash, withdraw once (not multiple small withdrawals) to avoid paying the local ATM fee more than one time.
- Use the T2 Door 6 public-hall banking area when you’re short on time: it’s a well-known landmark inside the terminal for finding an ATM without wandering.
- Don’t wait until you’re already outside: once you’ve met your driver or reached the pick-up curb, it’s annoying (and sometimes stressful) to go back through doors and crowds to find the nearest ATM again.
- Watch for “helpful” strangers offering to guide you to an ATM right after you exit—if you need cash, go directly to the terminal’s ATM areas and official counters on your own.
- If an ATM declines your card, try a second machine in the same area before assuming your card doesn’t work—airport ATMs can have intermittent network issues.
- Keep small bills in mind: if you plan to use cash for tips, small snacks, or bus tickets after arrival, consider making one withdrawal that gives you change-friendly denominations.
FAQs – Santiago Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez Airport (SCL) ATMs
Are there ATMs in both terminals at SCL?
Yes. Santiago’s airport has ATMs available across passenger areas in both the domestic (T1) and international (T2) terminals, especially in public halls and near high-traffic passenger routes.
Are SCL airport ATMs open 24/7?
ATMs located in public halls are generally accessible around the clock, while ATMs behind security depend on the operating hours of the airside zone.
Where is the easiest ATM to find right after arriving internationally?
After you clear Immigration, Baggage Claim, and Customs/SAG, the public arrivals hall (landside) is the fastest place to look. A known landmark is the banking/ATM point in the public hall area near Door 6 (2nd floor).
Is there a “bank branch” inside the airport, or only ATMs?
There can be limited in-terminal banking services (often tied to currency exchange or customer-specific services). Even when bank-office hours are limited, nearby ATMs in the same public-hall zones are typically available longer.
Do SCL ATMs charge fees?
Often, yes. Many Chilean bank ATMs apply a local operator fee that appears on-screen before you confirm the withdrawal. Your home bank may also charge a separate fee.
Can I withdraw USD or only Chilean pesos (CLP) at SCL?
Most airport ATMs primarily dispense Chilean pesos (CLP). If you specifically need USD, check currency exchange counters or ask your bank before traveling.
Is there an ATM in the international transit/airside area?
Sometimes. Airside availability can change with terminal layouts and renovations, so if you must have cash immediately on arrival, the safest plan is to use the public arrivals hall ATMs after you enter Chile.
What should I do if the airport ATMs are out of service?
Try a second ATM cluster inside the terminal first, then use the map to find nearby ATMs in Pudahuel/ENEA. If you’re heading into Santiago, you’ll find a high concentration of ATMs near major transit points and commercial avenues.
