Think twice before trusting Vanex with your money!…read more به هیچ عنوان شایسته اعتماد کردن نیستند. بیش از دو هفته طول کشید تا پول من منتقل بشه و رفتارشون اصلا حرفه ای نیست. اگه ادعاهای منو تکذیب کنن اسکرین شات چتهامونو میذارم. I'm sharing this based on my personal experience. A transfer from Iran was sent on September 26, and I didn't receive it in Vancouver until October 10 -- far slower than what Vanex promised. During that delay, there was no proper customer service, no clear explanations, and not even a simple apology for the inconvenience. I had to constantly follow up just to get basic updates. It felt like once they received the money, the urgency and care completely disappeared. When you're dealing with essential funds, reliability and transparency should be the top priority -- sadly, that wasn't the case here. This review reflects what actually happened to me. And if Vanex claims my information is false, I have all the chat screenshots ready and will update this review again.

Warning to others: Vanex has shown repeated broken promises, refusal to refund, and threatening behavior. Protect yourself and avoid this company for any financial transactions. I strongly warn everyone against using Vanex. I trusted them with my money transfer, but despite repeated promises that the funds would be delivered to Iran, nothing was received. Each time I followed up, they gave excuses and refused to provide a proper answer. When I asked for a refund, they denied it. Even worse, the manager threatened me during this process -- and recorded. When the police became involved, Police advised me that others have had similar complaints and Police recommended to avoid further dealings with them.

However, what keeps this from being 5 stars is a rather cold and unfriendly welcome. The woman behind the counter did the exchange but showed no friendliness. Also, although I checked the rate on their website before I went in, I got less than the rate quoted. I know exchange rates fluctuate but this was a very rapid drop. Also, the owner was there and walked right past us as we were leaving, but instead of acknowledging us in any way, he averted his eyes and looked at the floor. Is it just too much effort to look at your customers and say "Thanks for coming in," or similar or even just a friendly smile? We felt completely unwelcome and will go elsewhere for future currency exchanges. How you treat your customers DOES matter.

Can't say I've done a comparison since, but judging by the long line ups, I would assume they are still the best for your foreign currency needs. They carry EVERYTHING. Just call beforehand and check that they have enough in stock if you're needing some of the less popular currency. They are also super helpful and can either order you more or direct you to one of the other branches that will have what you need. This is also one of the better locations because it's easy to find parking. My only issue was that I wish their hours were a bit longer.

The line is shorter here and there is street parking right outside. Quite convenient if you drive and there is a parking spot available. I also like the fact you can do e-transfer or debit card transaction without extra fees. Much safer than carrying large sum of cash for changing currencies. Recommended!

This place is probably my favourite currency exchange location ever since the Richmond centre mall…read morecurrency exchange store closed. The young ladies that work here are really kind, knowledgeable, and will explain the rates to their customers. I had some random Philippine peso that was given to me for Chinese New Year, and I was looking for a currency exchange place that was willing to take pesos. But no other currency exchange locations wouldn't take it because I guess Philippine pesos isn't as popular as the euro or USD. But happy Currency Exchange has the ability to exchange Philippine peso for Canadian dollars; hence this has become my new Currency exchange place. 5/5 Also they're open 7 days a week.

Yes, this place is at Crystal mall, but the access is on the outside of the mall on the Kingsway side, and it's a very secure place, you enter a door, where it is locked, and they are watching you, then you hear a buzzer to get to the next location which is to change your money. I have never had a bad experience here, and their hours of operation are really good, just don't come on Sunday cause you won't get anything.
