This is one of the few non-airport moneychangers that's open on Sundays. I saved about 2.4% & $6.20 compared to changing my money at the airport (there is still a fixed commission per transaction). Service was pretty good read more

Calforex Currency Exchange - Vaughan - Currency Exchange Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

See all

This Calforex location used to be a booth, but is now a full-blown store. I have been to another Calforex location in downtown Toronto, so I knew what to expect. They had the amount of Euros that I was looking to purchase and the rate was really good. There was only a slightly higher than 2% premium on top of the actual exchange rates. They also charge a flat service fee of $3.75. I was in and out within minutes. For those who don't know, Calforex also has a currency buy back program. If you purchase more than C$1,000 in currency, you can come back to the same location and exchange back at the same rate that you purchased at within 30 days with the original receipt. They will buy back up to 50% of the original purchase mount at the same rate. There is no service fee on returns. read more

I've had a checkered history with banks, especially those with false information! I was recommended by a co-worker to this place, which turned out to be one of the best recommendations I've received. my bank told me they had euros on site, went to the bank, they had nothing! not even a single dollar. I phoned ahead to this location and they proceeded to tell me they had a lot of euros on site, come on in and exchange the money. I walked in hours later, and was literally in and out within a minute...no I.d. no signature, no fuss no hassle no problem! I was extremely happy and impressed with this quick and easy service and I wish more places were like this. NO day or two wait time! So simple...So AWESOME! Huge fan! read more

Looking to exchange some Cnd funds to US for an impending trip to the Mayan Riviera, my bank informed me that this place offers better rates than they did....so off I went to this place. There were two people in line in front of me. The girl (there was only one wicket open) working behind the plexiglass patrician was efficient and very fast. Place was easy to find and I was in/out very quickly. Great rates to boot ! read more

Be careful you may get trapped! I need to wire money to my friend in the US. I phoned twice and came to the shop talked to the staff before I actually do the money wiring to make sure I have everything that required to make things fast and easy. I was hurry to catch the last bus to Montreal. I run to the bank bought the draft and had all needed information stored in my phone. Things happened like night mare. The manager on site, Natasha (provided by one of the staff), handle my transaction. She asked me for the SWIFT code or ABA code. I gave her the VOID check from my friend. She did not know what the number on that check mean. I taught her how to read that routing number. She then asked for account number, again, I had to teach her what it is and where to look for. Finally she can understood how to look for the info on the check. Not there yet, she pulled out a piece of paper asked me to write down clearly all the information that she needs. I gave her back the paper with everything clearly written. She entered into the system and give me a print for confirmation. There were mistakes: wrong name, wrong address number, wrong street name, wrong city, wrong account number !!! I checked on the paper what was wrong and how the correct ones are. She then gave me the print to check. I checked and still errors. She and I played that correcting game 5 times in order to correct all the spelling and info. She looked at me like it was my fault. Finally, everything seamed right. So scare of what was happened, I asked her is there anything that would need me to do, she said "NO, everything fine". OK, 45 minutes gone for what the bank can do in 5 to 10 minutes. I run to my trip to Montreal, it's almost late. But the phone rang and Natasha again. She asked me to spell my friend name in full, which I do not know. She also asked for my friend's date of birth in order to release the fund to my friend. I told her that I will be back right away to solve the problem. I told her that I was never asked that info before and would like to cancel that transaction. She said no, I could not do so. If I do then I need to sell that US amount to her and than buy it back or something similar. In general I will suffer the big loss. I felt I got trapped. There was no way to get out the trap until you gave them that info. I was passed to the other one, Tammy, who was much better and more professional. I then text to the US for my friend number, called him for the problem. I forwarded him email from Tammy. Finally I got all the info they needed with several calls and texts to the US, I lost my trip to Montreal. Well, I started at around 12:20PM and finished at 2:32PM just for something that need to be done in 10 minutes max with the lost of the trip and money for long distance calls. I tried to save money because they have better rate than my bank but it ended up a big lost. So next time, come to the bank, deal with professional, and save time. read more

Avoid. they do their best to hide the fee then refuse to perform a refund oncethey get you. I'd asked for a quote, then based on that increase the transaction which is how I missed the fee until after I paid. They claim to have no way to perform a refund which is crap. just avoid them, there are plenty of other places to go. read more
