Paying into Montreal Exchange The / Bourse de Montreal in CAD

Canada uses the Canadian Dollar. When you pay another currency it has to be converted at some point. You rarely see a separate line for the conversion.

What a transfer from Montreal Exchange The / Bourse de Montreal abroad really costs

When you transfer money to another country through Montreal Exchange The / Bourse de Montreal, the fee you see is only part of the cost. On top of a fixed fee, banks in between can deduct a fee, and when currencies are converted the bank usually uses a rate below the actual market rate.

Most of the cost usually sits in the exchange rate, not in the fee: the bank converts using an exchange rate with a margin built in. Check their rate against the mid-market rate. The difference is your real conversion cost.

Money transfer services often use rates closer to the mid-market rate and lower fees. Before your next transfer, take a minute to compare what arrives on GoldexPay rather than accepting the bank’s rate by default.

Scams that use SWIFT codes
