Have used this exchange for multiple different currencies over the years, and usually they have…read morewhat I need on hand, like Japanese yen and Thai baht, and most recently Norwegian Kroner. It takes about a week for currency to come in if it needs to be ordered, and it can be ordered in advance. I really like the location; I used to go to City Centre when it was still open, but here it feels safer and more private. Usually there are 2 agents available, and the wait is rarely more than a few minutes. Usually one can just walk right in. Have never had any problems, service is prompt and courteous.

I don't use services like Calforex all the time, but when it comes to travel they are very…read moreconvenient. There are two locations one in West Ed and this one in Southgate (it's by the end with the Dollarama). A lot of currency exchange places or banks might only have US, Euro, and Pounds on hand, but Calforex has a variety of different currencies. I got some Hong Kong dollars for my trip to Hong Kong (obviously). They do charge a $3.95 fee for your transaction so it's better to get a larger some of money (basically don't take out $20 worth of currency for a $3.95 fee, take out $100 or something more worthwhile). If you are an AMA member you can show your card to save on the fees. It's convenient and easy to exchange currency (I've only ever bought currency, not sold it). If you're going on a trip and need some foreign money to get you started then Calforex is the place to go to.

Avoid this location. My parents send money from out of the country for my kids for holidays and…read morebirthdays and occasionally they said money just because. This one guy that works here always says that he doesn't have enough money for Western Union to be received even around $100 or Western Union is always down. I've had other employees tell me that he's full of it. Avoid this place like the plague

Quite easy to use, this is a good place to go to exchange your cash ESPECIALLY if you order your…read morecash online in advance as that decreases the fees that you need to pay and guarantees that you get the best rate. I was surprised at how fast the transaction went and then I was off on my trip. Seamless and helpful on the whole.

I quite like getting my money exchanged at ICE. Located on the departures 2nd floor of the airport,…read moreacross from security between the Air Canada and WestJet area, it is a very convenient location for me. There are other locations after getting through security as well. I always use the super easy Click and Collect feature online (or by phone, but I always use the web), which allows you to place your order up to a year ahead of time, and basically have your currency reserved and ready to be picked up free of service charges at the ICE location of your choice. You can then pay by cash or debit when you pick up. One thing I really like is that they will buy back any of your leftover currency (bills only) at the rate that you originally purchased at, at no service charge, upon presenting your original currency purchase receipt. So don't lose it! If they don't have your currency listed online, feel free to email or call the main company, as they say that they have access to over 75 currencies. They are pretty good with calling and emailing back right away. Note also that if you need something quickly, it might be best to call the ICE location directly. This is how I found out that they only place orders twice per week, on Wednesdays and Mondays before 11am. The one drawback with using ICE is that I don't think they have the best exchange rates as the rate I was quoted was quite a bit different from XE.com. However I don't know what kind of markup there usually is with currency exchanges so I don't know how good or bad it really is. Overall I love the convenience of ICE's services and the decent customer service so I will probably still keep using it!

The Olympia Trust company branch in Edmonton is not trustworthy. The customer service there is not…read moreprofessional. Till last Friday Oct. 23, I have regularly bought US dollars from them and entrusted them to deposit amount into my USD bank account. I was told in the very beginning that the deposit fee charged by bank will be covered through their currency exchange rate , which means there is no additional charge on the amount deposited, they did what they said until Oct . 23 2020. On that day I bought some amount USD, and asked them to deposit into my account as before, but later I found I was charged bank fee and they don't cover the fee, but I did not get any heads up or warning from them. Then I called them seeking the reason of amount cut on my deposit, the staff and the manager intensely asserted that I should talk to the bank about the fee instead of talking to them because it is bank charging me. I certainly know that bank will charge fee, however, the issue is: bank fee has been there since the beginning, and it is them, Olympia Trust, to withdraw their policy and stop covering the fee through exchange rate any more. First of all, they betrayed customer's trust by failing to explain the policy change before doing the transaction; later when facing customer's question they try to confuse and misguide customer on cause of the issue so that they get themselves out of any responsibility. Such customer service delivered by this company branch is low quality and absolutely should not be recommended to prevent any more victims.

It's nice that this location has some hours of operation even on a Sunday. There's loads of parking at this location.
