It is possible to change USD to Barbados dollars, when you arrive to the island. Official rate is 1 Barbados $ = 0.5 USD, and in many cases it is possible to pay in USD.
For example, when I took a taxi from the airport, I've payed 50 USD, and got change in local currency at the official rate. Next day, I've changed more USD in the Bridgetown. I don't remember was it bank or just exchange office, but it was easy to find as the town is small & focused on tourists.
