HSBC also offers foreign currency accounts and multi-currency accounts, allowing customers to hold and manage multiple currencies in a single account.

When you get a quote for your Global Money Transfer from HSBC on their website or in-app, you can also see the HSBC exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much you are being charged.
HSBC does not publish their exchange rates publicly which is frustrating. However, our research shows that on average, HSBC profit margin for foreign exchange rates is somewhere between 2.8 - 7%, depending on the amount you're sending, where you're sending it to and which currency will be received.
While all banks add this mark-up, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.

Recent forecasts for the CAD to AUD exchange rate indicate a complex interplay of factors affecting both currencies. The Canadian dollar (CAD) has faced pressures due to falling oil prices, currently priced at $66.55, which sits 7.4% below its three-month average of $71.87. As a commodity-linked currency, the CAD is sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices, which directly affect Canadian export revenues. Analysts note that with oil trading within a volatile range of $61.58 to $79.02 recently, any continued declines could lead to further depreciation of the loonie.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to Australian dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Australian dollar with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/AUD exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
