i dont do bank accounts. I had commerce bank steal 3000 from me before and never replaced it and they are blaming me for it...... so i definitely do trust banks. I have cash only.
one bank scrwed you, doesnt mean they all will.... however, do not exchange money at the airport, the exchange rates suck. just check around down there for the best rates.
it's called a cambio, not a cumbia. you probably got confused from all that zumba latin dancing you're doing, cuz cumbia is a type of dance.
http://www.insidemoneytalk.com/news/usw/usw143.html Taking out of an ATM, you can get charged all sorts including commision which you wouldn't get at an exchange bureau. Brits should know by now that the banks will rip you given any chance.
You never want to use your credit card at an ATM. That's like bending over in a prison shower. Use ATM card won't cost you any cash advancement charges.
