No longer possible to change back money

This year I had some GBP left and I left. As there´s no exchange office at the airport, so I went ot Republic Bank in Crown Point to buy som GBP for the TTD´s I had. To my very big surprise, it´s No Longer possible to buy GBP at the bank, the answer was the same at Royal Bank.
They wanted me to open an account, deposit the $700 TTD I had there, and THAN by GBP! But everyone know that bank as charge you for everything, so I would loose money. It´s also so that a bank someties demands you make a minimum deposit and also th have a minimum left on the account, so I therefore did NOT open an account.
I had a Republic Bank account from 1992 until last year 2015, when I came down I found that they had closed my account, without information to me via e-mail. Didn´t had much money there but it was for sure nOT the banks money!
So, if you have cash left when it´s time to go home, take it with you and change it back at home instead, or sell it to somebody who stay longer in T&T. I had to change it to GBP at Gatwick North as I was staying all day long at Heathrow 5 before the flight to Sweden.
