About Us:
Serving Canadians since 1990
The Unicash group of companies started its operations in 1990 and, throughout its history, has met the demand of thousands of Canadians, providing convenient solutions in the alternative financial services industry.
Unicash opened its first retail store in 1990, and grew as an organization of retail outlets which cash cheques for the public – for a fee. Unicash prides itself on having its outlets cashing virtually every kind of cheque at one of the most competitive rates in the Canadian cheque cashing industry.
In addition to cashing cheques, the Unicash outlets offer a variety of other services such as Western Union money transfer, currency exchange, bill payments, sale of money orders and mail box rentals, just to name a few.

As business expands across the globe, the need for foreign currency, as well as secure and efficient funds transfers become a corner stone for many enterprises. Unicash Mercantile is the solution for all your foreign exchange needs.

Compliance
“Knowing our Clients and Compliance with Regulations are a pillar to our policies.”
The Federal government recently expanded its anti-money laundering efforts by enacting the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act (the “Act”). The first parts of this legislation came into force on November 8, 2001, and such legislation is constantly being reviewed and updated.
Unicash Mercantile has always been committed to assisting and strictly complying with all anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing provisions of the Act, as set out by the Financial Transactions and Report Analysis Center of Canada (FINTRAC).
Confidentiality and client protection are part of our priorities. As part of the compliance regime, Unicash Mercantile requires proper client identification records, and compliance with the verification requirements of the Act, as well as all other reporting provisions.
