Step 1: Get a Quote

Before trusting your hard-earned money to a new service, we understand that it’s important to know what you’re signing onto before you commit.

Therefore, we’re happy to provide you with a free quote for the amount of money you wish to transfer, detailing what you’ll receive after completing the transaction.

To receive a quote, phone us at 1-877-355-5239 and speak to one of our customer service representatives to make the request.

On the transfer form, confirm the exchange rate from the quote you received, and we’ll send a receipt. Your receipt will list the full transfer details so there are no surprises regarding what you’ll receive following the completion of your transaction.

If you accidentally entered the wrong information or simply wish to check the details, don’t worry – we’ll never complete the process of transferring the funds until you’ve verified everything is correct.

Once you’ve confirmed, you can send a bank transfer or online bill payment to complete the process of exchanging your funds.

Our service works with all operating banks in Ottawa and throughout Canada, so don’t worry about checking if your bank qualifies.

Once you’ve completed the transfer, you’ll receive your funds the day of or the day following the completed transfer process.

How to Conduct Currency Exchange in Ottawa

Locals in Ottawa can have their funds exchanged into foreign currency through a number of different means. Some places for currency exchange are as follows:

Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport
Hotel currency exchange services
Kiosk services
Bank currency exchange
Ottawa currency exchange brokers

While all of the above options are applicable, utilizing the services of a currency exchange broker offers a greater guarantee of receiving a much lower exchange rate than these other services provide, particularly for larger sums of money.

Our currency exchange brokers at KnightsbridgeFX are tasked with locating the lowest possible foreign exchange rate available to ensure you’re not paying more than you should.

This is particularly beneficial for individuals and businesses handling larger sums of money (such as transfers over $5,000) for school fees, international employee payroll, etc.
