dont you have to call ahead first before showing up?..also,some banks will match and beat they're rates no?...doesnt hurt to ask.

most major currency exchange places have HKD

Places like Kingmark is quite competitive with VBCE

Do it at a bank in HK.

vs

https://www.vbce.ca/rates

5.74

Just make sure all your bills are not damaged.

Only really need to call in for the not as common currencies just to make sure the location(s) have them when you show up.

honestly the best exchange rate is in hk. if you can get yourself to hk first and have enough change to get to city center, its always better to do the exchange in hk.

^^ Chungking Mansions in TsT has the cheapest currency bazaar. On the HK side take the C exit at Sheung Wan station and a whole lot of FX shops on that block. Also competitive rates just as good as TsT.

Just note that each shop specializes in a certain currency. So just look for the one with the best CAD conversion.

I also had to go to Japan and I changed from CAD to HKD to JPY and it was a very good rate as well. So just get to HKD with airport transfer and bus fare.

why do people get mad so easily here? maybe I should of asked "where is the best exchange rate"

obviously I misread the VBCE website...

some errors online that I made and people start attacking people's mental age and real age?

I love it how people say this shit online and are the complete opposite in real life. Keyboard warriors

You just seem like you're a lot younger than I once thought, so I thought I'd ask.

And because only a younger person would honestly think a place like VBCE, one of Vancouver's largest FX services, doesn't buy/sell hong kong dollars. You're not going to the moon.

He could also be really old, like "how do I program my VCR?" old. Or maybe "Yes, I’d like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?" old.

DragonChi 12-05-2016 05:24 PM

If you know what a VCR is, you are old as fuck already.
