Um cambista, ou pessoa que realiza operações de câmbio, pode ganhar dinheiro de diferentes formas. Essas pessoas geralmente trabalham em 🌻 bancos ou outras instituições financeiras, where they help clients convert currencies. They buy currencies at one exchange rate and sell 🌻 them at a higher rate, making a profit from the difference.

They buy currencies from travelers or businesses at a 🌻 lower rate and sell them at a higher rate, making a profit from the spread. However, this type of activity 🌻 is often illegal and can result in severe penalties.
