  • Sierra Leone – Village of Diamond
    Located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, the Republic of Sierra Leone has its capital in Freetown, and becomes known to the public for the blood diamond exploited there and sold at high price. The total area of its territory is 72,326 square kilometers, and coastline stretching about 485 kilometers. The seaside region of Sierra Leone possesses beautiful scenery, relatively abundant tourism resources, 50-kilometer primitive silver beach uncontaminated, Bintumani Mountain Chain and Tieji Mountain Chain, Bumbuna Waterfall and Kono diamond producing area. Why not take your UnionPay cards (card number starting with 62) to seek for natural treasures in the “Village of Diamond”.

    In Sierra Leone, UnionPay cards are accepted for withdrawing Leon and for balance inquiry at all ATMs of Rokel Commercial Bank.

    Please refer to the latest government policy on overseas cash withdrawal via UnionPay cards at "Help Center-Card-using Instructions-Refined Card-using Tips". Daily cash withdrawal limit from respective issuers and/or ATM may apply. Please consult your issuer on the possible cap on the amount. You may split your withdrawals into several times which comply with the limit(s).
  • Charges
    ATM commission fee consists of two separate fees: 
    (1) Service fee charged by the issuer: please consult your issuer for details.
    (2) Service fee charged by the ATM acquirer in Sierra Leone: some ATMs will charge commission fee, which is charged by the local banks in Sierra Leone and which has nothing to do with UnionPay or the issuer.

    Cash withdrawal via debit card results in a lower commission fee.
  • Tips
    Select PINs that cannot be easily guessed by anyone.
    Never disclose your PIN to anyone who claims to represent the bank or the police.
    Be alert to your surroundings before conducting any banking transactions.
    Keep a close eye on your credit card during transaction to avoid any illegal activities.
    If your UnionPay card has been stolen/lost, please inform the issuer immediately.
