Hi!
Was recently in Bali, first time without parents and used my bank account the whole time as I was a bit worried about taking money.
If your bank card has the blue cirus symbol you can use it internationally.
It cost me $5 to withdraw money each time and i found out i was getting 6900 for the exchange rate... A bit less than the money changers but I felt safe!!
If you are worried it's not actually that bad to use the ATM. They are everywhere!!
