How Much Are You Losing at the Airport?
Airport currency exchanges mark up rates by 8-12%. Here's what that costs you on a typical exchange.
| Airport Exchange | Currency Mart Downtown | |
|---|---|---|
| Rate Markup | 8 - 12% above mid-market | 0.5 - 1.5% above mid-market |
| Exchanging $1,000 USD | Lose $80 - $120 | Lose only $5 - $15 |
| Exchanging $5,000 USD | Lose $400 - $600 | Lose only $25 - $75 |
| Hidden Fees | Often undisclosed | $3.75 flat fee (no fee for USD/CAD) |
Even after the $12.50 UP Express fare, you'll save significantly more than exchanging at the airport.

Exchanging $1,000 USD at the airport?

Super fast super efficient . Better rates than most of the other names in Toronto DT/ financial district. Location was a bit of a find, but the person over the phone was super responsive and helpful.

I had an amazing experience. I needed some large euro bills, and since they didn’t have them in stock, they took my phone number. When the bills arrived, they called me to pick them up and even set them aside for me. Very friendly and helpful—thank you! :)
