Let us take care of the details, and we’ll make sure that you can do as much shopping as you want.

International Students

Preparing for college or university life is a difficult process. It is a life changing event that is a defining moment in your life. Every decision that you make could alter the cards on the table, at any moment. The last thing you want to have take down the stack of cards you have been preparing for the last several years is a financial wrinkle. Especially if you are studying abroad.

At GCI, we would rather you get the most out of the educational experience you have chosen, so that you won’t have to worry about money again. Unlike financial institutions we at GCI don’t charge a transaction fee. Students can exchange their money easily without stress. GCI understands this process very well and has been serving the needs of international students for over 15 years. By using out wiring services families can transfer money to help with costly tuition and living expenses.

Whether you need to make tuition arrangements, are receiving funds from family overseas, or sending funds to an international student, Gastown Collectables Inc. has you covered.

Bank Drafts: USD and CAD ONLY

Today of course a lot of the old school ways of doing things have been replaced by more advanced methods. Although technology has come a long way, one banking process that hasn’t changed is the process of bank drafts and personal cheques. Of course we don’t need to physically cut them with a knife today, but bank drafts and certified cheques are a very necessary process for many individuals.

And, while your teller may not need to physically extract your cheque or draft from a machine, the process is still cumbersome and expensive for consumers today. That is, unless you work with GCI.

If you have large transactions that need to be handled by certified cheque or bank draft, in USD or CAD only, give us a call. We will ensure you will get the best exchange rate possible and streamline the process for you as quickly as possible.

Overseas Travel

You will always have what you need, when you need it, and as much as you need when you exchange with us. You will not have to worry about heavy transaction and processing fees that the airport or foreign bank WILL charge you, just because they can. And you won’t have to worry about waiting either.

All of those questions that everybody else has when they run into a financial snaffoo during their overseas travel, become solutions when you work with us. As well, all of those extra funds you might have on hand can be easily exchanged back with us upon your return.

At GCI, our goal is to keep the world’s currencies….in your hands.
