BEST: Vancouver Bullion & Currency Exchange (VBCE) downtown at 800 W Pender St - locally trusted, competitive rates (4.3★). Gastown Currency Exchange on 525 W Pender St excellent (4.9★). Charlie's Currency Exchange on Granville St extended hours. AVOID: YVR Airport ICE Currency Exchange - terrible rates (2.7★ Google). Richmond/Metrotown VBCE branches okay but downtown best.
