Travelling abroad? Now reload forex card in real time on BookMyForex app

The process of reloading forex cards has traditionally been cumbersome for international travelers, requiring individuals to fill out a manual form and send travel documents for card reloads over email. Now, BookMyForex has introduced instant forex card reloads. The instant reloads can be done on the BookMyForex-Yes Bank True Zero Markup Forex Card in real time.

This feature will enable international travelers to effortlessly top up their forex cards with a simple click via BookMyForex app while abroad on their trip, eliminating the hassle of paperwork and delays. You may need to update your app to get the new feature. The latest version of the BookMyForex app is now available for download on both the Play Store and the App Store.

Sudarshan Motwani, Founder, and CEO of BookMyForex.com says, “Running out of funds while abroad is stressful and relying on credit cards exacerbates the issue with exorbitant conversion charges, additional fees and often restrictive credit limits.” He adds, with digital reloads in real-time, travelers can enjoy uninterrupted access to their money while traveling abroad.

The forex card from BookMyForex can be purchased without the need to open a bank account and it’s delivered on the same day at your doorstep.
