Title: Where's the best place to exchange currency?
Post by: thechoipolloi on December 04, 2014, 09:01:04 AM
Hi all!

Longtime reader and first-time poster here. My fiancee and I are going to buy an apartment shortly, but we need to convert a chunk of cash from Canadian dollars to US dollars (around $60,000 USD worth). Any ideas of the best places to do it? I've never converted this much money at once before, and I wonder whether there are bulk rates or something.

Thanks!

Jon

I use XE Trade - they seem to have pretty good rates (much better than the banks), and it has always worked very well.  There are plenty of similar entities out there too.
