    Prepaid currency cards or Forex cards are similar to debit and credit cards. The main difference is that you need to load a prepaid card with currency and it is not linked to your bank account. Prepaid currency cards have evolved to become a must-have for travelers because of the numerous benefits it offers. They are also commonly referred to as a Forex card because it is loaded with foreign currency.

    The biggest benefit of a Forex card is that you can lock in the foreign exchange rate when you top it with your local currency. This means that if you buy a Forex card and load it with US$ 100 at the rate of 1 US$ = 66 Rupees then you need to spend only Rs 6,600. On the other hand, if you use a debit or credit card to make purchases in US$, then the foreign exchange rate prevailing on the purchase will apply. There will also be additional taxes and bank charges.

    Another major benefit of a pre-paid currency card is lower fees. It is cheaper than using your debit and credit card. Many travelers also feel that having a limited budget ensures you don’t overspend. When using your debit card you will swipe it numerous places without realizing how much you are spending and how much balance remains in your account. Given below are four different foreign travel cards you can consider purchasing for your business trips.

    Last year saw 5.4 million Indians traveling abroad for business and short term tourism. Considering that India’s population is close to 1.35 billion this is less than 0.5% of the country’s population. This shows there is enormous potential for the growth of India’s outbound tourism and it will only increase in the coming days.

    The 30/70 Rule For Tourists

    It is always recommended that tourists carry thirty percent of their travel budget in cash and the remaining seventy percent should be carried digitally in the form of credit cards or traveler’s checks. You can use the cash to pay for your taxi and minor purchases while the Forex card can be used to pay for accommodation and purchases.

    The answer to which bank offers the best currency conversion rates on its forex card depends on many factors. CaxtonFx which is featured below offers the best rate followed by Axis and then ICICI Bank. The private sector banks in India generally offer better rates than the PSU’s like SBI and Bank Of Baroda.
