Travelling abroad? Use Multi currency card for a hassle-free travel
Posted on Wednesday, December 20th, 2017 | By IndusInd Bank
Travel is the best teacher as it helps one to understand different people, culture, traditions and lifestyles. It trains people on how to adapt, be more open, embrace the uncertainties, be modest and live in the moment. However, the financial aspect of travelling could possibly mar a beautiful experience, if not handled well.
Leisure and business international trips are accompanied by inevitable expenses. The common expenses include booking flight tickets, buying train tickets, and reserving hotel rooms. However, travellers also need to make room for costs such as meals, car rental, filling up gas/fuel, parking, taxi, tolls, cell-phone service, data plans, basic supplies for personal or official purposes and medical emergencies.
There was a time when handling cash, making purchases and carrying out transactions while travelling used to be a cumbersome task. International credit and debit cards were the only options left for people who didn’t want to travel with a lot of cash.
Things have changed for better now with multi-currency forex card and pre-paid travel cards.
International Travel Made Easy with Multicurrency Card
Experienced travellers often warn about ‘sneaky travel cost spikes’ when dealing in foreign currency. The exchange rates and currency value constantly fluctuates, making it difficult for tourists visiting a foreign land to plan their expenses. It can knock the best of plans and arrangements off the track. If the trip involves visiting multiple countries back-to-back, then the problem multiplies.
This is where multi-currency card comes to the rescue. It is risk-free, economical, easy-to-use and highly convenient. Probably one of the smartest financial products available in the market, travel cards protects your money from yo-yoing foreign exchange rates. As you can freeze the most favourable rate, you have complete control over your money, which is the exact opposite of the traditional methods of international currency dealings.
