β β β β β Checked online and their rates were better than VBCE for buying RMB.
Went in and they were very polite and friendly and everything went smooth.

β β β β β In my experience, they were fast and hassle-free. I go there several times a month to exchange my USD paycheck into Canadian dollars. USD/CAD is the best exchange rate in Burnaby/New West. Obviously much better than rates given by big banks (RBC, Scotiabank, TD, etc). They update the rates a couple times throughout the day. Overall, I'm a happy returning customer.
[Update:] The last few times I've gone, it's been really difficult to find parking. The underground parking at Crystal Mall is free, but very hard to get into, and it's also very slow moving in there. It takes a really long time to find parking. While there is some street parking in front of the currency exchange, but it's always very difficult to find a spot, because the cars sit there for 30 minutes to an hour each. So it's been really complicated as of late, and I've been using a nearby currency exchange instead, which has slightly better options, and the same exchange rate usually too.
[Update:] Found a much better currency exchange right next to Kingmark, called EverForex, which only takes a 0.5% cut on the transaction, where Kingmark tajes 1.5%, and banks take 3%. Don't think I'll be using KingMark again, considering the parking headache and rates.

β β β β β They take way to much personal information for exchanging a small amount of money. They asked for my drivers license and logged everything including my date of birth which I though was way to excessive for a currency exchange shop but it was to late as the person already punched it into the computer, I feel horrible right now... I will never use this place again and suggest others use somewhere that doesnβt infringe on your personal information rights.. I would give this place zero stars if I could...

β β β β β They wonβt take yen thatβs slightly crumpled up; the notes I tried to change back were not mutilated or damaged in anyway that would render them unsaleable for the next clients, and yet VBCE took my yen without any issues.
Personally, as long as the notes arenβt ripped up or unusable in the country Iβm spending them in, Iβm not picky about the condition I receive them in.

β β β β β The best and easiest currency exchange experience I have ever had!!! So fast, the only exchange place for miles that also had MEX pesos. Pleasant service, and the exchange rate was excellent!! Way better than a bank!

β β β β β Tried to provide as much Mexican Peso as they had on hand, which was appreciated. Although they didn't have much in smaller bills which is understandable. Small, clean office that does the trick and is accessible right off Kingsway at Crystal Mall. Rate was decent and comparable to other companies in the area.

β β β β β I should have trusted my gut instinct to recount my money. I thought the teller miscounted by $100 but I thought that wouldnβt happen as somebody else counted the money before it was counted out to me. So I let it go and didnβt. I went immediately to deposit my cash into the bank and sure enough I was short $100 US Stupidity on my part but I thought people are honest as I am honest.
Nope, I should have been tipped off when I there was a sign posted that said βensure you have the right amount before you leaveβ
I normally go to Vancouver buillion but itβs far from me. So I took a chance and came here....never again will I come back. They donβt post signs like that as they donβt rip people off!
I was there July 23, 2019 at approximately 10:10 am.

β β β β β For years I have been using their services but not anymore. In mid Apr 2022 I bought some pound sterling for my son's trip to UK. As he didn't finish the money, I brought back the same pound sterling notes to Kingmark on May 4 for conversion to CAD. They refused & said now they only accept plastic notes.
Beware when buying pound sterling from them - insist you want plastic notes instead of the paper notes that the Bank of England plans to phase out end of Sep 2022. Kingmark should be ethical to take back their own notes that they sold to customers recently & when the pound sterling notes are still legal tender. Rather go to Vancouver Bullion in Metro who I have also dealt with & they are more professional.
