A Prepaid Forex Card, in its simplest terms is just a debit card that allows you to access your money in the required regional or national currency. You can add a fixed amount in your home currency in this card and then use the card in a foreign country where it will be debited in the destination country’s currency. Also, these cards can be topped up from time to time as and when you need more money.
How is a Forex Card Better from Normal Credit and Debit Cards?
Your normal Debit & Credit Cards charge very high fees on a foreign exchange transaction. These fees can be high as 3 percent per usage. Moreover, the exchange rates provided on these cards can also be much lower as compared to those on a Forex Card. Read on
