Keep up to 2% more than at the bank
Banks hide a markup of two to two and a half percent inside the rate, then call the exchange free. We quote off the interbank mid and show you the difference.
Indicative, from today's live board. The bank figure assumes a typical all-in spread of 2.5% hidden in the rate; your bank's may differ.

What clients say
- ★★★★★
They are a very good and trustworthy exchange. They handle money transfers in the fastest time possible, even under the most difficult circumstances. Most importantly, there is no need to go to the exchange in person to make a transfer, which is a huge help.
Mahsa S. Google review · 2025 - ★★★★★
I recently had the pleasure of using Diplomat currency exchange service and I must say it exceeded my expectations. They were friendly and efficient. The rates offered were competitive, and the entire process was quick and hassle-free. I appreciate the level of professionalism displayed by the team. What truly stood out was their commitment to punctuality – the money was deposited into my family's account exactly as promised. I’m sending money to Iran frequently and I’ve been trying different exchange currency service providers in Toronto but unfortunately I’ve always had problems with their awful services. If you're in need of currency exchange services, I highly recommend giving them a visit. A five-star experience all around!

Questions, answered
How much better than the bank is your rate?
Typically 1.5 to 2 percent better on CAD/USD, depending on the amount. On a 50,000 dollar exchange that is usually 750 to 1,000 dollars kept rather than paid away inside the spread.
Is Diplomat Exchange licensed?
Yes. Diplomat Exchange Inc. is registered with FINTRAC as a Money Service Business under MSB number M23907027, and follows Canadian record-keeping and reporting requirements on every transaction.
Where are you located — do you serve all of Toronto?
Yes. Our office is at 5587 Yonge Street, Toronto — on yonge street near finch, in the heart of north york. We serve clients across Toronto and the GTA, and most come from North York neighbourhoods like Willowdale, Newtonbrook, Bayview Village and Bathurst Manor.
What identification do I need?
One piece of valid government photo identification for most transactions. Larger amounts require proof of source of funds — a bank statement, sale document or similar — which we confirm when quoting.
How long does an international wire take?
Wires sent before the afternoon cut-off usually arrive within one business day, and within two for less common corridors. You receive written confirmation with the transaction reference.
Can I buy or sell gold and silver?
Yes. Bullion is quoted by phone because the metals market moves through the day, and settled by cheque with receipt, EFT, or cash by prior arrangement.
