Where to change CAD to USD in large amount?

Thinking about changing 30k+ in CAD to USD.

Own bank or VBCE - any RS'er with experience in this?

Chances are vbce or money way will offer best rates - just call them and ur bank and ask for their rate

Ask your bank if they can match VBCE pricing... or ask them how much do you have to exchange to call in for a better rate (banks if you change a lot of Foreign currency, they can call there back office and see if they can give a better rate)

VBCE's your best bet, bank rates unless a large amount give you a shit rate

Ended up going with VBCE. They are great and offer the best rate IMO

My bank is a complete a clusterfuck!!! I'm a VIP and higher tiered client at my bank and honest to say the least the location i go to (main branch in Downtown Vancouver) is such a complete joke. They never offer me the best rate or service for my time or money. This resulted to me going to VBCE (wasted 1 hour and going to 5 places) returning to my bank and my bank tells me

"We don't want you go run around like that and we "COULD" of offered you the same rate"

What the fuck!!!!!! I asked the same question if this can be done and the rep told me it can't be done. While the assistant branch manger tells me different

Helps to always ASK!!
