North York Currency Exchange Kiosk Services

Foreign currency exchange services in North York can also be found at local kiosks located in densely populated areas, such as malls. Most of North York’s major malls and tourist locations will offer a currency exchange service, and there are many small cash boutiques that can be used, such as Union Exchange or Kantor Exchange.

North York Currency Exchange Brokers

Foreign exchange brokers offer the best exchange rates, but often have high minimum amounts, and do not keep cash on hand to keep their costs low. If you’re looking to exchange a large amount, using a foreign exchange broker such as KnightsbridgeFX would be the way to get the best exchange rate from Canadian dollars to US dollars.

Currency Exchange Yonge and Finch

The Yonge and Finch neighborhood has developed into one of North York’s thriving residential and commercial urban hubs. There are a number of different entities that provide financial, banking and currency exchange services.  The majority of the big five banks have branches within this area, Scotiabank is located on the northeast corner of the Yonge-Finch intersection, the Royal Bank branch is just opposite on the southwest corner, the Bank of Montreal is located a bit south at the Yonge-Olive intersection and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is a couple of blocks south Yonge and Norton Avenue.  There’s also a Korean Toronto Credit Union and a DUCA Credit Union nearby.  All of these banks can provide currency exchange services but they may not provide the best rates, a local currency exchange provider such as Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange can send and receive money from all of these banks can provide much better exchange rates.

Currency Exchange Yonge and Steeles

The Yonge and Steeles area has a number of different commercial establishments including currency exchange and other financial services.  The Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, and President’s Choice all have branches within Centerpoint Mall while TD Canada Trust and the CIBC have branches just across the street.  These banks provide currency exchange services and often have exotic currencies that you wouldn’t normally find elsewhere.  The only drawback is that the exchange rates that they offer is not as good as a specialized currency exchange provider.

Yorkdale Currency Exchange

Yorkdale Mall offers a currency exchange service through Continental Currency Exchange. This is a good option if you’re looking for cash and exchanging smaller amounts.  Their rates are typically better than the banks but still not as competitive as some of the other foreign exchange providers in the North York area since cash money exchange services have higher overhead costs and therefore can’t pass the savings onto their customers.
