New CIBC presence at YYZ
Outside the int'l MLL lounge @ Pearson today, I see a CIBC foreign exchange desk. It seems to be part and parcel of a renewed CIBC presence at Pearson, which includes "free" luggage carts c/w CIBC logo.
So I walked up and got a very competitive exchange rate quote for Singapore dollars, simply by showing my CIBC Aerogold VISA card. I don't normally buy my foreign exchange at the airport but this development may change that.
Very surprised to see this has not been reported yet on FT, as (according to the staff) they have been there for a couple of months.
Anyone else try this service?

Yes, I recall seeing one........
An interesting question! Is one even needed when I paid for my SGD $ with my debit card?
I am still looking for ATM's which dispense US cash from my US $ account? That would be useful! I am told that RBC has one in YYC, but I have not seen it.
