Under the service, customers can order multi-currency Forex card and Forex cash on a real-time basis. The card can be used in all major merchant outlets and ATMs across the world.
In a financial year, customers can load up to $250,000 into the card and buy up to $3,000 as currency notes.
They can carry out transactions by locking-in the current exchange rates at the time of placing an order through a two-percent partial payment. The remaining payment can be made at the time of delivery.
The new service is expected to benefit frequent foreign travellers. They can procure Forex with their travel bookings or can collect it from any partner seller outlets in India.
