When the Canadian dollar started to weaken last fall we provided a lot of guidance on foreign exchange transactions and translation to make sure you had these concepts covered. Many small companies have a tendency to try and keep their cash receipts in the denomination of the invoice. For example, should you get paid in US dollars you make sure the money is deposited in a US dollar account that way you are controlling the effects of foreign exchange.
Thanks Business Ready on the foreign exchange policy but now I have another question:
If cash is king, and every dollar counts, where can I get the best foreign exchange rate when I need to exchange money from one currency to another?
Well, say hello to Globex Foreign Exchange. For years I have researched where to get the best foreign exchange rates with a service that meets my needs and I always come back to Globex. The brokers are extremely knowledgeable and you can discuss best times or days to exchange money and get advice on market movements. The minimum transaction amount is $10K; however, I usually use Globex for amounts of $50K or more when a 0.01 difference in the exchange rate is meaningful.
The best part? They will send someone to your office to pick up your cheque (let’s say in US dollars) and at the same time leave the agreed amount in the currency of your choice (let’s say in CA dollars) for no extra fee - same day service. Transaction done! Now head to your bank.
As I said, when cash is king why not get the best rate possible when you need to transfer money?
