Currency Exchange for SW Communities

Our 12 Avenue location is a convenient stop for residents of the Beltline, Sunalta, Downtown West End, Mount Royal, Bankview, Scarboro, Mission, Killarney and Richmond. Skip the bank lineups and the airport kiosk — we’re close to home and close to work, with competitive rates every day.

Better Rates Than the Bank

Most banks and airport kiosks build a wide margin into their exchange rates, and many add service fees on top. At Express Forex Services, we keep our margins tight and charge no service fees, so more of your money ends up in your pocket. Our rates are updated throughout the day to follow the market, and you can check them on our website before you visit.

Currencies We Exchange

We carry a wide range of world currencies, including US dollars, euros, British pounds, Mexican pesos, Indian rupees, Philippine pesos, and many more. Popular currencies like USD and EUR are usually available on the spot. For larger amounts or less common currencies, we recommend placing an order ahead of time so your cash is ready when you arrive. Looking specifically for US dollars? See our USD to CAD currency exchange page.
