"I was in the Limeridge branch the other day and dealt with Christina. She was very polite and patient. Very knowledgeable about what currency I need to exchange for.  I highly recommend that if you need money for a trip to go see her."

 

Jason in Hamilton
"I’ve travelled several times over the past year and some to the U.S., and every time I need a competitive market rate and quick, convenient currency exchange, I've head straight to continental currency exchange at Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener. I’ve mostly dealt with Aleena, who is always friendly, professional, and willing to offer helpful insights about exchange rates. When planning ahead for upcoming travel, I have popped in to ask about rate trends and have gotten the information i needed. While I haven’t worked directly with other staff members, I’ve overheard their interactions with customers and they all seem equally courteous and knowledgeable. Overall, this branch offers great service, easy access, and thoughtful advice that helps me make informed exchange decisions. Highly recommended and thank you to the entire team!"
