An overview of the currency exchange providers in Laval
There are a few different international currency exchange providers in Laval, Québec. It’s important to choose the right service for you.
Let’s take a look at some common options.
NourFX
NourFX® offers currency conversion services for businesses and individuals in Laval, with 20+ available currencies. You can pay for your transfer by debit or cash, but you’ll need to visit NourFX in person to register for your exchange.¹
NourFX doesn’t charge taxes, fees or commissions – and you can see an updated list of exchange rates on the NourFX website before you make your transfer.
However, you may find that there’s a discrepancy between how much the platform buys and sells their currencies for – meaning you could end up paying a small margin on any conversions.
This markup depends on which currency you’re exchanging.
For example, NourFX buys GBP for 1.6863 but sells GBP for 1.7293 (as of 22 February 2024, 11:20).¹
There are a few Nour Foreign Exchange branches in Canada, including Laval. If you have a question about your transfer, you can visit your local branch for more information:
Working hours: Monday to Friday (9.30 am to 7 pm), Saturday (9.30 am to 4 pm)
Address: 2121 Boulevard du Curé-Labelle, Laval, Québec
Phone: 514-492-5558¹
Calforex
Calforex® is a popular currency exchange service in Laval, registered with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada®** (FINTRAC). **You can exchange cash or choose from a range of non-cash foreign exchange services in multiple currencies.
You can also use Calforex to order foreign currencies online and get your money shipped directly to you, with a few different branches across Canada.²
The provider doesn’t disclose their exchange rates, transaction fees or commissions online. This may mean you won’t know exactly how much your exchange will cost until you come to make it.
If you need help with your Calforex transfer, you can visit your local branch:
Working hours: Monday to Tuesday (10 am to 6 pm), Wednesday to Friday (10 am to 9 pm), Saturday (9 am to 5 pm) or Sunday (10 am to 5 pm)

However, there’s a discrepancy between how much the platform buys and sells their currencies for. For example, Click Exchange buys USD for 1.3475 but sells USD for 1.36 (as of 22 February 2024, 11.42). This could mean you end up paying an exchange rate margin on any currencies you convert.⁸
If you have a question about your transfer, you can visit your local Click Exchange branch:
Working hours: Monday to Friday (9 am to 7 pm) or Saturday (9 am to 4 pm)
