ATM at Colombo airport?

I presume there are ATMs at Colombo airport. Can anyone confirm they are after immigration (if flying inbound), before or both!?

Thanks

They’re both but if I can offer one piece of advice, you can’t rely on every machine working every time you try use it so if you are arriving from Holland take some Euros with you and when you have got your bags and cleared customs (have your baggage receipts handy, they have started asking for them) you will come into the arrivals hall, there are bank counters here and they offer good rates of exchange. I believe there is also an ATM here but I have never used it.

Good advice!

To add: there are at least 2 ATM's next to the bank counters (far righthand corner), one of Commercial Bank and other one I think of Sampath. However the 24 x 7 service level is indeed lower than that of the counter employees, if they are nonfunctional (asleep) you can wake them up but you can't do so with the ATMs :-)
