Frequently Asked Questions

Why are RBC rates different from those quoted in the paper, television and online foreign exchange sites like Bloomberg?

Exchange rates quoted in the media are interbank exchange rates, which are used by banks and other interbank participants to buy and sell currencies in the wholesale market. The interbank rate quoted in the media is for a minimum amount of US$5,000,000.

Usually, when a client completes a transaction it is for an amount smaller than US$5,000,000 and as a result, a retail rate is applied. This rate includes a spread added to the interbank rate to account for market movement between when the client transaction is completed and when smaller client amounts can be accumulated and traded on the interbank market.

Why are RBC rates for cash conversion different (less favorable) than non-cash rates?

Exchange rates applied to cash transactions include shipping and handling charges, making the exchange rate for cash less favorable than the non-cash rate. Non-cash rates are applied to paper instruments such as cheques, drafts and travellers cheques. Non-cash rates are also applied to incoming and outgoing wire payments. These instruments are easier to manage and incur less time and cost for processing than cash transactions. Therefore a more favorable rate is applied to non-cash instruments.

Why should I convert my Canadian dollars for a local currency (USD, Euro etc.) before leaving Canada, when travelling to the United States or abroad?

It is more beneficial to convert your Canadian dollars to the local currency of your travel destination before you leave Canada. Most banks, foreign exchange kiosks and hotels in other countries charge commission or service charges for converting your Canadian dollars to their local currency.
