We’re tired of banks profiting off of their customers with unfair rates and fees. That’s why we have made it our mission to offer rates we’re proud to be transparent about. When you exchange currency with Remitbee, you’ll get the correct rate, with no hidden or additional fees. We always encourage our customers to compare our rates with other services, so they can make sure they’re getting the best exchange rates possible!
As financial insecurity rises, we think it’s important that financial institutions provide fair and affordable rates to make sure that you aren’t burdened by additional fees, which can add up in the long-run.
Investing in the US stock market can be very beneficial for making a profit. While we highly encourage learning more about investing and taking advantage of US stocks, choosing the right currency exchange service for swapping your CAD with USD can make or break how much you gain from stock trading.
Many Canadians who invest in the US stock market know of Questrade, which until now, was the most affordable option for exchanging CAD and USD. Although Questrade fees are much cheaper than banks (1.5-1.99% both ways), this small fee can still add up over time. Remitbee has now entered the currency exchange market, and offers zero fees when you exchange!
Now, you’ll only save about $4 with Remitbee if you only invest a small sum of money in your lifetime. However, once you begin to invest in the thousands, the amount you lose if you continue to use a service like Questrade will only increase. Let’s take a look at an example:
- If you buy $1000 worth of US stocks, you could be losing around $40 CAD profit.
- If you buy $50,000 worth of US stocks, you could be losing around $2,000 CAD profit
This is a significant amount of money, so you want to make sure you choose your exchange service wisely if you plan to get the most out of stock trading.
Banks have been able to profit off of their customers for a long time, especially when it comes to foreign exchange services. Banks often offer exchange rates that are much lower than the real exchange rate, but it isn’t questioned by trusting customers.
If you want to see the real exchange rate for a given day, just Google “usd to cad” or “cad to usd”.
Enjoy zero fees when toy exchange with Remitbee! All you have to do is exchange a minimum of $10 between a currency pair, and we’ll take care of the rest!
