I visited this place to urgently exchange Canadian dollars for euros. It is located downstairs on the ground floor and the staff was very friendly. Processing time was very fast. I exchanged money in 1 minute? 2 minutes? and gave me a receipt and an envelope.

I had a great experience at this location, which can be found on the ground floor near the food court. The staff was both friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place if you need to exchange currency.

The rates are better than in the banks. The transaction was successful, though it took more than 10 minutes for the money to arrive in our bank account. (Which we were warned of in advance.)
