It’s a good idea to stock up on Rupiah before you go shopping in Bengkulu. There are a number of banks (MANDIRI bank, BCA bank, BRI bank, Danamon bank, BII bank, Buana bank) along Jalan S. Parman and Jalan Suprapto Bengkulu. Will change money and travelers checks, although it may take some time (around 30-60 minutes). Most the banks have ATM machines that take MasterCard, Visa and Cirrus. BCA bank is the best and most convenient for changing money. Keep in mind, the bank are closed on weekends.
There are also money changers on Jalan Sudirman and Jalan Suprapto which are efficient and have slightly better rates than the banks in Bengkulu.
