Google Reviews
Based on 133 Google Reviews
Our experience today (and 2020) was excellent. We needed £s and €s and completed a pre-order. I didn’t get their names, but they were awesome. We saved $ by using them rather than our credit union. If you are converting a significant amount, make sure you do it 10 to 14 days before you are leaving. Have a little patience as speaking through a speaker (the staff is behind thick glass). They will repeat what they said if you don’t hear them or understand.
Excellent service. Fast courteous, friendly, all good

Who We Help: Practical Currency Exchange Solutions
From international students and newcomers to property buyers and global travelers, Currency Mart saves you money on every dollar exchanged with live rates, cash in stock, and transparent pricing.
International Students in Canada
Paying Canadian college or university tuition, residence fees, and monthly living costs in CAD while receiving funds from overseas. Avoid big bank wire exchange markups of 3%–4% and high incoming wire fees. Convert home currency banknotes directly to CAD cash or settle funds securely.
Canadian Students in the USA
Attending US universities or specialized training requires paying tuition and housing in USD from Canadian dollar savings. Exchange CAD to USD 24/7 online at rates 1% to 2% better than Canadian banks, pay via bill payment or e-Transfer, and have USD wired or deposited directly.
New Immigrants Landed in Canada
New permanent residents, work visa holders, and newly arrived families carrying foreign banknotes and international settlement funds. Get instant CAD cash for initial apartment leases and essentials without multi-week bank holding periods. FINTRAC registered (M11432814).
Canadians Buying US Real Estate
Purchasing residential properties, condos, or commercial real estate in Florida, Arizona, California, or Texas. On a $300,000 to $1,000,000 USD property purchase, a bank's 2.5% retail margin costs $7,500 to $25,000 extra. We provide tight wholesale margins and direct wire settlement to US escrow or title firms.
Tourists & Visitors in Canada
Visiting Canada for vacation, family, or business conferences? Avoid airport kiosk markups and hotel exchange fees of up to 10%–15%. Visit our downtown branches in Toronto (PATH / North York) or Winnipeg (Skywalk / St. Vital Mall) for transparent live rates, fast counter service, and zero surprise fees.
Canadians Traveling Overseas
Planning holidays or business travel to Europe, Asia, Latin America, or the Caribbean? Canadian banks often don't stock physical cash for non-USD currencies, requiring 3–7 business day pre-orders. Currency Mart keeps 51+ foreign currencies in branch stock for immediate walk-in pickup or convenient pre-order.
Canadian Snowbirds & Seniors
Spending winters in Florida, Arizona, Texas, California, or Mexico? Converting CAD pension funds or retirement savings into USD or MXN month after month eats into your winter budget with bank spreads. Convert funds in bulk before departure or transfer directly to your US bank account at wholesale rates.
