Any insight re this appreciated. | Roll up your sleeves and get the elbow grease out.

Have any of y'all used VBCE or another currency exchange for a large transaction?
I understand VBCE is quite reputable but I tried to look around to see if they were insured in any way and I couldn't find it. I know they deal with a corporate transactions so the risk is low but I want to understand if there is any risk at all. For example if I send them a sum of money to exchange and somehow shit hits the fan, they weren't able to exchange my money and went bankrupt.

Banks too can fail overnight. However, places like VBCE has been around for so long and built a reputation and scale that the amount one's looking to exchange is usually a drop in a bucket on their scale.
Unless you are doing a few millions of dollars worth of transactions, I wouldn't worry too much. And if you have over 1M, you can always find a broker to exchange on the wholesale market that gives you pretty much the spot rate at any given moment. If you want to be extra careful, you can ask VBCE specifically to issue a bank draft (so it's backed by whichever bank issuing. I believe they use mostly RBC, and if there's a day we have to worry about RBC failing, we have bigger issues) instead of their business check.
I can't say it's worry-free. But the likelihood of that happening, given regular folks' amount, is just really low.

No, wasn’t a waste. I should’ve gone to Popeye’s, though. Went To McD’s in Walmart instead, ‘cause they had those collectible Coke glasses. I have every colour now. The little things in life, eh?

When I'm at the Mills I usually eat Montana's. Haven't been back in over a year though.
I vaguely remember reading that a few years back Arby's announcing they were gonna launch like 5 new stores in the next couple years, whatever happened to that... can't find the article anymore.

Swiss Chalet used to be SO good ... but they went spiralling down the toilet in terms of quality. Now I think they retooled and just make frozen ribs and pies in your local grocery store.

So typical of restaurants that can't keep current. You can only survive so long on your reputation from years gone by. I hear Swiss Chalet is so bad now that the Swiss government is looking into having the word Swiss taken out of the company's name................. just kidding, gulolol.

Just a heads up. If you have any McDonald's Monopoly winning pieces, they expire on the 30th of November.
I have a Skullcandy $20 gift code that I'm not interested in. 5XNL9578RQMQ. Use it, if you can. Just post here if you've used it.
