I've been coming here for years now every time I needed some foreign currency for travel. Before here, I just went to my bank and asked to convert my money. After some rate comparison between the two, I found Globex had a better game on two different occasions so I said adios to the gigantic money machines (banks) and started coming here since after.
Situated inside Galeries Laval mall, all you need to do is open up an account at any of their 6 branches and which takes a few minutes at the wicket, then you're good to go. What sets them apart is their rate guarantee buyback of half of your purchased amount. Say you bought $500 of any foreign currency there and didn't blow it all at your stay and which you don't want to keep after you're back home .... You can return up to $250 with your original receipt and get your CDN money back with the same exact rate you originally purchased for. If the rate had gone up, you won't lose, if down, they'll give the best rate of the day.
Now I'm not a financial wizard or anything nor a business owner who buys foreign currencies on regular basis and who usually had done his homework of finding the best rates so really can't speak for everyone. This review is more for individuals who are in need for small amounts of currency which this place provides with good rates and much better convenient hours than the banks.
Having said all this, I'd welcome your comments and feedback, there's always room to learn for everyone. read more
