There is a Scotia bank machine, very handy at the round-about....used it a few times and had no troubles.
Dont exchange with anyone on the street......no matter how good a deal they give you.
You will lose.
If u pull out of an ATM don't you have the option of getting us or j back?

Ok I think iam starting to understand this.. Makes much more sense now!! Thank you all for the replies!! Looks like I need a Bank of America account, they only charge 1 % and I think that's the best iam gonna get
We called b of a and that's what they had told us.. I was told there was no charge using a scotia ATM with b of a but wanted to call and ask
Cambios can at times have long lines, I mostly use ATMs these days.
I use JA dollars almost exclusively as I frequent small locally owned places.
There are ATM's at the airport, HiLo and ValueMaster Supermarkets (also Scotia, but Scotia has more begging going on around it. Remember if you want Jamaican dollars to type the amount in JA dollars (ex. $300 US would equal approx. $28,500J - scary to type in that amount!)
There is a little button by the door of the ATM - remember to push it to get out!
100J and 1000J bills are similar - common scam/mistake is for someone to tell you/you only gave them a hundred instead of a thousand bill. I have taken to keeping them in seperate pockets or even marking the 1000's discreetly in a corner.
