Recommendation on currency exchange for US to Canadian...

[rsot]

Sometimes kind of pointless but since most of my sales in USD, to change the currency to CDN I have to find a best rate provider. I know that while banks are ok (National Bank gives best bank rate I believe), there must be better physical spots that exist.

Any fellow peeps have any recommendations?

Are you talking about something like this?

Exchange Rates - x-rates

ExchangeRate.com - Currency Exchange Rates

Canadian Dollar and Canada currency information including currency exchange rates

Exchange Rates - Bank of Canada

Thanks Commie. Was looking more for physical spots to exchange USD to CDN for better rate but appreciate the help.

Banks give you one of the worst rates in town...

Depending on where you live, go to china town, and there is usually a couple of places to get your money exchanged. Last time I went, I got my money exchanged close to par. Many people come to them to exchange CDN to USD or CNY. I don't know what province you live in, but check locally with currency exchangers....

Thanks Burning - good tip.

Have you ever been to China Town? I am sure every area has one...

I have exchanged a few 100$ at a best western before, although that was a few months ago when the rate was a little better. They gave me par.
