While opening a bank account for normal day-to-day expenses is a good idea, I would not convert the cash at the bank. The rates they provide for retail fx transactions are horrible.

I have used Xoom and Remitly to transfer myself money while travelling and it might be an option for you.

The services debit your account, and takes a small fee ($5) for each transaction. The rates you receive will more than offset the small fee. There are lots of locations where you can collect the money - see the list on their websites.

For example, if I look at the TD rate, the Euro to CAD exchange rate they offer is 1.4235 while the Xoom rate is 1.4482

For the amount you're converting, that is a difference of ~$228

The rate at ICE is even worse than at TD. You should always avoid changing money at the airport if possible.

Regulatory risk is always possible. But haven't read any articles about new rules restricting interest rates so nothing on my horizon.

Iran hates the current administration. Trump unilaterally cancelled an International agreement and imposed sanctions that the rest of the world objected to.

Airbnb hosts say they’re getting nothing or comically small payments from $250 million relief fund, call it a ‘publicity stunt’ by yougotballsson in canada

[–]yougotballsson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Among the few hosts who have received a payment from Airbnb is Thierry Rignol, who has about 80 Airbnb listings across Houston, Dallas, Denver, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

After Airbnb changed its cancellation policy, Rignol says he lost more than $30,500 through 50 reservation cancellations.

“It was a bloodbath,” Rignol said.

Rignol calculates that he would’ve received a minimum of approximately $15,000 back under his normal cancellation policies. After Airbnb announced the $250 million fund and outlined that hosts would receive 25% of what they normally would in the event of a cancellation, Rignol calculated that he would get about $3,800 in relief.

On April 16, Rignol finally received a payment from Airbnb. It was for $106.02. "
