Toronto Currency Exchange Options Compared

Not all Toronto currency exchange services offer the same value.
Here’s how your options stack up.

Banks in Toronto

Every major bank, RBC, Scotiabank, CIBC and BMO, has branches across Toronto and most will exchange currency for account holders. Check the bank’s posted rate before you go, and ask whether the branch has the currency you need in stock, because many branches order foreign cash in advance. Bank rates include a markup over the market rate, and non-customers may be asked to open an account or speak to a manager.

Airport and mall currency exchange

The exchange windows at Toronto Pearson are open long hours and take walk-ins, which is why they charge some of the widest markups in the city. Mall kiosks and hotel desks are similar, and both limit you to common currencies. Use them only for small amounts you need on arrival.

Why KnightsbridgeFX

KnightsbridgeFX is an online currency exchange, not a cash counter. You book the exchange online or by phone, send funds from your Canadian bank account by bill payment, Interac e-transfer, wire or EFT, and we deliver the converted funds to the account you choose, usually the same day. We do not accept or hand out cash. Rates are up to 2% better than the big banks, with no commission and free outgoing wires. New clients can start with a test transaction of $50 to $100.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Exchanging CAD to USD in Toronto

You can exchange CAD to USD through banks, kiosks, or specialized currency exchange providers. Many Toronto residents choose KnightsbridgeFX for better-than-bank rates, no hidden fees, and a simple online booking process with secure transfers.

While banks and kiosks are easy to find, they often come with higher markups. KnightsbridgeFX offers a convenient alternative—exchange CAD to USD online and complete your transfer securely without visiting a physical location.

Downtown Toronto has banks and exchange counters, but rates can vary widely. A dedicated currency exchange service like KnightsbridgeFX typically offers more competitive rates, transparent pricing, and faster service than traditional options.

Airport currency exchange counters are convenient, but they usually offer some of the worst rates. Planning ahead and using a trusted provider like KnightsbridgeFX can help you save significantly when converting CAD to USD.

We check bank rates daily to keep ours competitive. If your bank offers a better rate, let us know and we will see if we can beat it.

There is no minimum. We exchange any amount. Many new clients start with a test transaction of $50 to $100 to see how the process works before sending a larger amount. When sending funds outside Canada, intermediary and receiving banks may charge the recipient a fee to receive a transfer.

All companies that transmit money in Canada must be registered with FINTRAC, a Government of Canada agency. Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange Inc. is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business (M09819788) and regulated by the AMF in Quebec. Every transaction comes with a trade confirmation on our letterhead and a confirmation number that can be traced electronically with Canadian banks. Funds move by wire transfer or direct deposit, generally the same day or the next business day. Our banking relationship is in good standing and our bank will confirm this by letter or phone on request. You can also test our service with a small amount first.

The rate changes with the amount you exchange. You can check the rate at any time with the exchange calculator in your online account or on our website. If you call or email us with the amount, we will quote the rate inclusive of our fees for that exact amount.

No. We do not accept cash, cheques or bank drafts. You can send funds by bill payment, Interac e-transfer, wire transfer, or EFT automatic debit and credit.

Our large transaction volume gives us buying power. We buy currency in bulk and pass the better rate on to you, along with free outgoing wire transfers. Banks carry heavier overhead and recover it through wider markups and hidden fees.

It depends on the provider, not the label. Banks and airport counters build their profit into the exchange rate, so the posted rate is already above the market rate. A specialist like KnightsbridgeFX prices from a much larger daily volume, which is why our rates are up to 2% better than the big banks for a CAD to USD transfer. Compare the rate you would actually receive on your amount, including any fee, before you choose.
