Currency Converter

Use a no-fee travel card

Cards like Wise or Revolut offer near-perfect exchange rates with zero foreign transaction fees.

Withdraw at bank ATMs

Avoid airport and convenience store ATMs — they charge 5-8% markup. Use major bank ATMs instead.

Always pay in local currency

When a terminal asks "pay in USD or local?" always choose local currency to avoid dynamic currency conversion (3-5% fee).

Mexico tip: Pesos over USD

While USD is accepted in tourist areas of Mexico, you'll get a better rate paying in pesos everywhere.

Canada: Tap everywhere

Canada has near-universal contactless payment. You rarely need cash except for small vendors.
