I bank with CBA but I think you'd be able to buy a card if not a customer. The rate using the Travel Card from ATMs was only minimally less than at money changers. CBA ATMs are everywhere in Kuta/Legian.
I would never go to Bali again without a CBA Travel Card. (I also had cash, my usual debit card & a credit card but only used the Travel Card & cash). The card lasts for 3 years, can be topped up & you get 2 with different pins in case one is lost/stolen.
Call the bank - 132221. I find the people there very informative & easy to deal with (once you get past the machine), far more so than at my local branches.
