When you leave money with a bank, you are paid interest. Interest is a fee for the use of someone else's money and is usually a percentage of the amount on deposit. It is calculated and paid each month, week, or day on the amount on deposit because it is available to be loaned to someone else or to be used by the bank.

Because of the current financial conditions, many simple bank deposit accounts are paying virtually no interest and are serving merely as a safe place to hold your money.

Will you get more for your money if you change us money to Mexico before you leave?

Maybe. Often banks will give you less for exchange because they don't give the current exchange rate. You are better off waiting to exchange in country and not doing it at the airport or at a bank. Exchange rates can vary between sources.

How can you get your money in your UK bank account when you don't have a bank account in us and that's where you are?

If you have an ATM card you can use it at an American bank. It will take the money out of your UK account, charge you fee, and give you American dollars in return at the current exchange rate. You can also go into a bank and get dollars through an exchange of pounds from your bank. Again, there will be a fee. I did this while in Europe in the opposite direction. Took money from my American bank account to get Euros in the country where I was on tour.
