Croatian transfer demand is strongly seasonal and coastal: island ferries, old towns closed to traffic and cruise ports make door-to-door transfers valuable to visitors. Most of those visitors book online from abroad and expect to pay by card.

Since Croatia adopted the euro in 2023, operators price in the same currency as most of their customers. Croatian companies can open Stripe and Airwallex accounts locally, and PayPal accepts EUR.
