The Hidden Cost of Foreign Exchange & How to Reduce It

When it comes to foreign exchange, many Canadians assume their bank is the only option. But whether you're travelling abroad, purchasing property in another country, or transferring money internationally, the way you exchange currency can have a significant impact on both costs and convenience.

In our latest episode of On the North Road, Marshall McAlister sat down with Kingsley Leung of Agility Forex to discuss how Canadians can navigate foreign exchange more effectively.

Some key insights from the conversation include:

- Why exchange rates and fees can vary significantly between providers.

- Alternatives to traditional foreign exchange services. - Considerations for travellers.
