Bank and post office
There is no actual bank in Kangerlussuaq, but customers of Sparbank Vest can make ordinary bank transactions in the village’s tele-post centre within normal opening hours.

Also housed in the same building is the post office, which just as in Sisimiut is a tele-post centre, where you can get a number of vital services for the local community, including a telecom shop which sells equipment and provides Internet solutions. In Kangerlussuaq there’s also a postbox facility open 24/7 and a normal post office service.

Alternatively, you can use the accounts office at Grønlands Lufthavnsvæsen, where there’s a service till open to customers needing money. Dankort, VISA, Eurocard, Mastercard, Maestro, Visa Electron, JCB Cards and Diners Club are all accepted.

Note that the till can only permit the withdrawal of limited sums.

GLV’s accounts office and service till are located in the building behind Albatros Rejser, about 100 metres west of the airport terminal.

Opening hours:
Monday-Thursday 08.30-15.00
Friday 08.30-1400
