Transparency is important to us, so we want to make sure you get the best rates possible! It’s easy for you to see how much you’ll save with Remitbee because we have no hidden fees.
Many financial institutions charge very high fees when you try to exchange currency, but we want to make it as affordable as possible for you to exchange!
There are many people who work as an employee in the US while still living in Canada. A lot of these are freelancers or contractors, and won’t want to lose out on their hard-earned money because of unfair exchange rates.
If someone makes 50k salary a year and uses an exchange service like their bank to exchange, they could be potentially losing out on $2,000. With Remitbee, you can avoid these unfair fees and lose out on less to exchange fees.
We assume that if you’re taking advantage of US stocks, you probably like to do a lot of research. Something you may not have considered, however, is how much you can lose in exchange fees when buying US stock and converting currency.
The most competitive and well-regarded option for a long time has been Questrade, which allows you to exchange currency with fees of 1.5-1.99%. However, with Remitbee, you pay nothing, which is now the best option on the market.
Now, if you only plan to trade a small amount of money in your life, it may not be worth it for you to make the switch and start using Remitbee (It’ll only save you about $4). However, once you start sending larger sums of money, you’ll really start to see your savings.
For example, let’s look at Questade fees:
- $1000 worth of US stocks: You could be losing out on about $40 CAD profit.
- $50,000 worth of US stocks: You could be losing out on about $2,000 CAD profit.
Many people aren’t aware that the rates banks give out are normally much lower than the real daily rate of that currency.
It only takes a simple google search of usd to cad or cad to usd to see what the real rate is, and make sure you aren’t being unfairly charged.
When you exchange currency with Remitbee, you can enjoy zero fees when you exchange a minimum of $10 between a currency pair!
