    Changing money question

    I realize of course the usually small diff doesn't amount to much but like most people I like to attempt to get the most bank for the buck.
    The converter on the home page has the rate as 1 to 119. I typically convert at the Cambio across from (Ugg) Burger King . Any ballpark idea for someone there now what their rate could be or in general is the rate we see on the currency converter accurate as to what we can exchange for? Thanks

    Any Canadians on the board change money recently?
    If you are worried about something, do something about it. If there is nothing you can do, why worry!

    When I was there a couple of weeks ago it cost me $340 CDN to withdraw $30,000 J at the Scotia Bank. I have a tangerine account so not fees were charged, only exchange rate.

    Hey stoner, from the peg too, heading down this Saturday.
    Changed 700. At scotiabank in wpg and got 58000 ja.
    Not sure if this is helpful or not but bank teller said to use my "visa" debit card at the atm as opposed to a regular visa.
    No service fee and bank rate exchange.
    Using regular visa or going to the bank requires service fees and also visa has inflated rates.
    Also any place that accepts visa will accept visa/debit and again no fees and best rates. The only thing is it comes out of your checking account so the funds have to be there.
