Buying US $ in Calgary

[haggis88]

is there anywhere open on a Sunday?

i totally forgot i needed to get some USD for going down to Montana early on Monday morning and google isn't being very helpful (maybe i'm searching the wrong words...you guys call them Bureau De Change too, right?)

I'll be able to use my credit card for any transactions i do down there, but i need a few dollars in cash to pay for a VISA waiver at the border due to being a British Passport holder rather than a Canadian one! As far as i've been led to believe, they don't accept credit cards at the border!

Thanks in advance

Worst case, you can always buy some at the airport.

For anyone else who happens upon this thread in the future, just a FYI, Calforex doesn't accept anything but Debit & Cash after 3:30pm on Fridays, no cashiers cheques/bank drafts or anything.

I learned this the hard way at 4pm yesterday, lol.

Certain RBC ATMs in Calgary dispense USD... Riverbend location an Glamorgan to my knowledge

That's correct. A good way to pull out a couple hundred bucks in a pinch.

The CIBC one located inside Bankers dispenses USD too but the rate is pretty shitty. I just go down the block to Calforex.
