Forex Cards
A forex card lets you lock in exchange rates before you travel, avoiding the volatility of spot rates and the high fees of airport currency exchanges. It's accepted like a regular debit card at shops, restaurants, ATMs, and online.
What You Need to Know
Locked Exchange Rate
Load your card when the exchange rate is favourable. The rate is locked at loading time — you're protected from INR depreciation during your stay.
Safer than Cash
If lost or stolen, forex cards can be blocked immediately and a replacement issued. Cash has no such protection. Never carry large amounts of cash.
Top Providers
Thomas Cook Forex Card, BookMyForex, Niyo Global, IndusInd Multi-Currency Forex Card, HDFC ForexPlus, and Axis Bank Multi-Currency Card are popular options.
Multi-Currency
Load multiple currencies on a single card. Ideal if you plan to travel across Europe (Schengen), as you can hold GBP, EUR, USD, AUD, and CAD on one card.
