Travelling Abroad? Get Forex At Home In Hours With Pay-On-Delivery Option | Savings and Investments News

Travellers now get consistent access, greater flexibility and the ability to arrange forex even beyond regular banking hours.

One of the biggest hassles for international travellers is arranging foreign exchange and forex cards on time. To address this, BookMyForex, part of the MakeMyTrip Group, launched new features designed to make forex access faster, simpler and available seven days a week.

The company announced same-day delivery of forex cards and foreign currency notes across major cities- including weekends- along with a new Pay-on-Delivery (POD) option for currency notes. Travellers can now get forex delivered directly to their doorstep without paying upfront, easing the stress of urgent travel planning.

What New Features Has BookMyForex Launched?

BookMyForex will now offer same-day delivery of forex cards and currency notes across major Indian metros. Customers who complete payment and documentation before 1 pm will receive their forex the same day. The company is also working on expanding the delivery network in the coming months. The newly introduced Pay-on-Delivery feature allows customers to pay at the time of delivery using UPI or other digital modes. Cash-on-Delivery is permitted up to Rs 50,000 per traveller, following regulatory norms.

According to BookMyForex, many customers search for forex products on weekends or very close to their travel dates, leading to unfulfilled orders due to weekday-only delivery schedules. With seven-day delivery and the new POD option, travellers now get consistent access, greater flexibility and the ability to arrange forex even beyond regular banking hours.

BookMyForex COO Gagan Malhotra said the company aims to simplify and speed up the forex purchase process. Seven-day delivery and doorstep payment make the final stage of obtaining forex significantly smoother for customers, he said.
