St. Maarten Banking and business hours

On the Dutch side, normal business hours are from 9am to 5pm. Banks are generally open until 3.30pm
On the French side they are not that business minded and have a large gap during lunch time where businesses are literally closed. Banks are open Mon/Fri 8.30am to 4pm with a 2hrs lunch break from 12am to 2pm.

ATM Machines.
There are plenty ATM Machines on St. Maarten. I suggest you only use them on the French side as the unofficial curency really is the US Dollar. All machines accept credit cards and debit cards with the Cirrus or Maestro brand on them.

ATM Machine locations:
- Inside Princess Juliana International airport.
- At Maho right at the entrance of the Casino Royale
- In Colebay on the road to Marigot just before the entrance of Port de Plaisance on the left there is the RBBT with ATM
- Simpson Bay, Airport Road right across the wooden building La Palapa Center
- On the road to Philipsburg, there is the Grand Marche supermarket, outside the building there is one as well.
There are other locations as well I just mentioned the easy to find ones. Later on I will create a map with the locations.

Churches

There are plenty of Churches, the majority though are kinda backyard churches. Most churches are Roman Catholic, Methodist, Seventh-Day Adventist
