Where is the best to exchange US dollars

[moody]

Hi, Most banks charge about 4% for the currency exchange. For example, the exchange rate on yahoo is about 1:0.94 (CND:US), while banks rate is about 1:0.9. Anyone knows better place to buy US dollars? thanks.

There are 2 places that you can go for. One is in the Rideau Center, the fee is only $2.00CND, another is in WorldExchange Plazza without any fee.

You need to go there compare the rate or google it and call them.

Hope it helps.

找人兑换，取平均值。

我只知道买入，卖出有差价，都不会正好是公布的价格。

我一般在Accu-Rate Foreign Exchange Corp换，看到那里写着，用现金换不收手续费。不清楚手续费是多少，也不知道它与各银行的不同是什么。

没听说过哪个银行收什么手续费。我经常的做法是用accura -rate 的汇率让我的银行去match,反正TD和RBC都会match的（不过有些小的branch不做）。
