Canada Post offers foreign currency exchange services to its customers through its partnership with CIBC. Customers can visit any Canada Post location to exchange Canadian dollars for a range of foreign currencies, including US dollars, Euros, British pounds, and more.
Canada Post's foreign currency exchange service is provided by CIBC Foreign Cash Online, which allows customers to order foreign currency online and have it delivered to their home or local Canada Post outlet. Customers can also purchase foreign currency in person at a Canada Post location, and can use cash or debit card to complete the transaction.
Canada Post also offers a foreign exchange calculator on its website, which allows customers to calculate the exchange rate for a particular currency pair and estimate the cost of a foreign currency transaction.
It's important to note that fees and exchange rates may vary depending on the currency and location, and customers should always confirm the exchange rate and fees with Canada Post or CIBC before completing a transaction.

It's important to note that exchange rates also fluctuate frequently due to market conditions. Additionally, banks like Canada Post often apply a margin to the exchange rate, resulting in a less favorable rate for customers compared to the mid-market rate. For more competitive rates, you might consider using a specialized currency exchange service or platforms that offer rates closer to the mid-market rate.
