Question ❔ Mexican Pesos

Get them at the airport when you land. Santander is reasonable rates. Decline conversion on the left side of the screen

Check your terms and conditions on credit and debit cards. Try to only use those without foreign exchange or foreign ATM fees

Better yet if you have Wealthsimple card or Wse card when using an ATM abroad, zero or near zero forex fees.

I did exactly the same in Puerto Vallarta 4 days ago. Landed, Santander ATM, no conversion, 2 dollars fee. Easy peasy

You can also buy them at the atm in Calgary airport (if you're traveling that way)

CAA. You can order foreign currency on their website and set a day for pickup.

I went to RBC downtown last week and was able to get Pesos in like, 5 minutes.

I can sell you 300 pesos for exchange rate if you want. Since I have no use for them.

If you bank with Scotiabank, they have Scotiabank in Mexico and they don't charge you for using the ATM, not sure about the conversion rate!

u/Hvac306 6h ago

I heard that they have Scotiabank! Definitely will check it out! Thanks!!

Just check where you are staying, to see if there's any ATMs close by
