[Bank vs Redemption Center Rate Debate response]
The law of one price...states that the price of an identical asset or commodity will have the same price globally, regardless of location...The law of one price takes into account a frictionless market, where there are no transaction costs, transportation costs, or legal restrictions, the currency exchange rates are the same, and that there is no price manipulation by buyers or sellers.
The law of one price exists because differences between asset prices in different locations would eventually be eliminated due to the arbitrage...The arbitrage opportunity would be achieved whereby a trader would purchase the asset in the market it is available at a lower price and then sell it in the market where it is available at a higher price. Over time, market equilibrium forces would align the prices of the asset. This should clear up the misconception of getting a better rate at a bank versus a redemption center, etc.... The rate will be the rate, no matter where, due to the law of One Price.
