Purchasing or selling property in the United States is a significant financial transaction. But one cost many Canadians overlook is the expense of converting Canadian dollars (CAD) into US dollars (USD).

When exchanging large amounts of money through traditional Canadian banks, the exchange rate can include significant hidden costs and margins. Even a small difference in the exchange rate can cost you thousands of dollars.

ClearPath FX helps Canadians buying and selling US real estate get more competitive currency exchange rates, save money on international transfers and receive personalized support throughout their property transaction.

Why pay more than you need to when moving your money across the border?

Get a competitive CAD to USD exchange rate before your next US real estate transaction.

When purchasing property in the United States, your Canadian dollars need to be converted into US dollars before funds are delivered to your US escrow or closing company.

Traditional banks often build a margin into their exchange rates, making it difficult to know exactly how much your currency conversion is costing you.

For example, consider a Canadian purchasing a US property requiring a $500,000 USD payment.

A difference of just 1% in the exchange rate represents approximately $5,000 CAD in additional costs, depending on the prevailing exchange rate.

On a $750,000 USD property transaction, that same 1% difference can represent approximately $7,500 CAD.

That's money that could stay in your pocket rather than being lost through unnecessary currency exchange costs.

ClearPath FX works to provide more competitive exchange rates than traditional banks, helping Canadians keep more of their money when purchasing or selling US real estate.

Don't automatically accept the exchange rate offered by your bank. ClearPath FX provides competitive CAD to USD exchange rates designed to help you reduce the cost of converting large amounts of money.

Canadians should compare the exchange rates and total transaction costs offered by their bank and specialist foreign exchange providers. On large property transactions, even a small difference in the exchange rate can result in substantial savings.

Savings depend on the amount being exchanged, market conditions and the exchange rate offered by your bank. A difference of 1% on a $500,000 USD property purchase can represent approximately $5,000 CAD in savings, depending on the prevailing exchange rate.
