I’m trying to find a place where I can exchange Canadian Dollars for New Taiwan Dollars. Are banks that do currency exchange easy to find? I live near MRT Neihu Station; are there any banks that do currency exchange near here? Or where can I find some banks that do? Preferably near an MRT station. Thanks~
I am watching you.
It’s Canadian Dollars, I think that is not that easy. Try Mega Bank. There is one inside the Neihu Science Park.
Here, addresses in Chinese for branches around Neihu:

Seriously ?? Are Canadian dollars harder to exchange than Australian or HK dollars - and if so, why?
AFAIR - I always see Canadian exchange rates in my bank.
Dunno, most banks only carry USD and Euros -maybe. Canadian dollars they go blink blink blink…
Try Taiwan Bank near Ganggian MRT. They are an international exchange bank.
I haven’t done currency exchange in so long, I forgot how it worked. Where can you exchange different currencies for one another?
I have 2 banks in Taiwan. Will the banks do it? Will there be a big fee?
Banks usually have an “authorized currency exchange bank” gold sign outside. Nowadays most banks can do currency exchange. If in doubt, look for the sign. When I first came to Taiwan years ago, hardly any banks would exchange British pound, in the end I went with Mega bank.
Thank you for your response. It was helpful.
I meant to ask you, when simply converting currencies, did they charge you a few or percentage?
If I remember correctly, there was no fee, but you are exchanging at the bank’s conversion rate, so you still lose a bit
They all charge a fee and even if the it’s lower than some other banks, they’ll screw you on the exchange rate.
