Because it does except cards.

That should say "accept" instead of except.

I would not use your Visa card until you check with the bank (call the number on the back of the card) and see what the exchange rate would be, and if you would be charged any fees.

But any bank in your area should be able either to exchange Canadian for American dollar for you, or tell you where you could do so.
