Save on fees

• For many people the holiday season means a time
  of gift giving and spending time with those we
  love. It can also mean a season of financial
  stress unexpected fees as add up.
• For Canadian families looking to travel outside
  of the country this holiday season, looking for
  ways to save on additional costs can become a
  focus. Fortunately, with a little planning and
  forethought, you can still save time and money as
  you plan for your holiday trip.

• Save money on Foreign Exchange Fees
• One of the surprising ways save (not just during
  the holiday season) is on foreign exchange fees.
  Many people exchange their currency at their
  local bank without putting much thought into the
  fees charged as part of that transaction.
• While the location of the banks may be convenient
  for many people, the inflated fees may not be.
  Banks work to charge competitive fees, but these
  fees are often at a premium, meaning you are
  paying a higher rate for the same foreign cash.

• So if youre looking to save on fees this holiday
  season, what are the alternatives?
• Private companies offer the same service banks
  do, but at a guaranteed lower rate. One Canadian
  owned and operated company, Calforex Currency
  Exchange, offers over 100 currencies and has
  locations Canada wide. Their offices offer
  foreign cash at a lower rate than the banks,
  saving you money. Put simply, using a company
  like Calforex Currency Exchange means you can
  still get the needed cash for your holiday trip,
  but at a lower cost. Why pay unnecessary fees?

• Order Cash Online
• Time almost always seems to be in short supply
  around the holiday season. Most foreign exchange
  companies require you to travel to them to
  exchange your currency. One possibly solution is
  to order the needed cash online. A service
  offered by Calforex Currency Exchange is their
  ability to deliver cash directly to your house,
  making it even more convenient than travelling to
  your local bank. Calforex will deliver up to
  2500 to your home through their online ordering
  service. This service can save you time and
  stress at a time of year where the last thing you
  want to do is stand in a busy bank line.

• Pay with Cash
• Another simple, yet effective, way to save on
  hidden fees this holiday season is to carry and
  pay with cash while on your trip. Once youve
  planned and obtained your foreign currency,
  paying with cash will help you track your
  spending while enjoying your vacation. Carrying
  cash not only helps you budget but it also
  prevents you from paying with card. Any
  transaction in a foreign country with your card
  is automatically charged a fee by your bank. This
  additional fee can be surprising if not planned
  for, and is generally going to be larger than the
  fee you paid to obtain foreign cash.
