I need to change our Euros to CAD's.What do most people do?
A straight transfer with a bank,or go with a company to get the best rate?
What do I need to watch out for?
THANKS GUYS

We give a direct debit order to Custom House currency brokers, I book a rate, they take the money direct from my account and then deposit it into my CAN$ account. I pay no transfer fees or charges for this. Banks charge a wire transfer fee and the rate is usually a few points lower.

Thanks Pat will check them out.But how do they make their money?

The spread between the buy and sell rate. What they charge us is more than they pay for the currency.

We use a few currencies for business and it works very well for us and the rate we get is very competitive.

Gotta ya. I will call them and sort it all out.
Many thanks for your help.
