Ordering Foreign Currency

No matter the amount, Alterna makes it easy for you to order the foreign currency that you’ll need for your travels. However you decide to order the currency you need, we’ll make it as easy as possible for you to pick it up at the branch of your choice or have it delivered directly to your door within 2 business days. And, you can pay directly from any of your Canadian dollar accounts.

Didn’t spend all your money while you were away? Not to worry, we’ll buy back any unspent foreign currency when you return from your trip at the daily current exchange rate, with the exception of foreign coins. 

Please note that foreign exchange rates vary throughout the day, depending on market conditions.
