Cheapest way to Exchange Currency?
This might be a long question but can someone help me with these questions? I don't travel very often but i do browse the travel forum a lot.
If I am heading to shanghai, Would it be cheaper to exchange cad currency here in Canada at the Bank of China or exchange it when I am in shanghai at an ATM?
2. I also have about 5,000 USD. Would it be a better rate to exchange usd or cad, or does it not matter?
3. Does it matter if I exchange currency with an ATM at an airport or someplace local in china?
4. I bank with tangerine, Scotia, Rbc, Bank of china and TD, which one would be the best for exchanging at an atm in china?
5. I also have interactive brokers. Not sure how many of you guys will be familiar with it, but would I be able to exchange the currency online and pick up the cash in person some how?
Thank you for taking the time to read/answer these questions!
