What to know about Payments in Malta

Malta runs on contactless in its tourist belt: restaurants, shops and hotels in Valletta, Sliema and St Julian's all take cards, and you can tap a bank card or phone directly on every Tallinja bus. Revolut is hugely popular with Maltese locals for splitting bills, so it doubles as the social payment app. Keep 20 to 50 euros for Marsaxlokk market stalls, village bars on Gozo and bus drivers with limited change, and withdraw at Bank of Valletta or HSBC ATMs.

Best Payments apps in Malta (2026)

Revolut app icon

RevolutEssential

Malta's favorite everyday money app: locals use it to split bills and pay each other, and your fee-free euro card taps in shops, restaurants and on every Tallinja bus.

Pro tip: Withdraw euros at Bank of Valletta or HSBC machines, which usually add no surcharge, rather than the standalone ATMs in nightlife areas. Peer transfers to Maltese friends arrive instantly since so many locals already run Revolut.

Wise app icon

Wise

Mid-market euro conversion for Malta with a contactless card that covers island life, from harbor restaurants to the tap-on readers fitted across the Tallinja bus network.

Pro tip: Keep 20 to 50 euros in cash anyway: Marsaxlokk market vendors, village bars on Gozo and bus drivers with limited change still prefer coins and small notes. Wise withdrawals stay cheap if you remain within the monthly fee-free allowance.
