BookMyForex Unveils Global Forex Card with No Cross-Currency or ATM Charges
No ATM Withdrawal or Cash Disbursement Fees – Access cash overseas without paying extra
Enjoy up to 2% Cashback – Get forex at 2% below Zero Mark-up Rate
As international travel picks up pace for the summer season, BookMyForex (a MakeMyTrip Group Entity)-India's largest online retail foreign exchange marketplace-has unveiled its all-new Global Forex Card, built to eliminate the hidden costs of spending abroad. Loaded in USD, the US Dollar denominated Single Currency Forex Card is accepted in over 200 countries. It offers unmatched savings with zero cross-currency fees, no ATM withdrawal or cash disbursement charges, and up to 2% cashback on zero markup forex rates.
This card is especially suited for students and travellers going overseas for employment, immigration, and to exotic locations such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Central Asia, South America, and other lesser-known destinations, as it does not entail any cross-currency charges.
Commenting on the launch, Sudarshan Motwani, Founder and CEO of BookMyForex.com, 'While the appetite for international travel among Indians continues to grow, especially to emerging destinations like Vietnam, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Azerbaijan, most existing forex products still fail to solve one of the biggest challenges – cross-currency fees and hidden conversion charges. Whether it's credit cards, multi-currency cards, or even so-called zero-markup cards, travelers often end up paying 3% to 5% extra on every transaction when spending in unsupported local currencies. Add to that the burden of Rs. 300 to Rs. 800 ATM withdrawal fees, and managing money abroad becomes unpredictable and expensive. The Global Forex Card has been designed precisely to address these pain points and offer a smarter, more transparent solution for today's global traveler.
At BookMyForex, we are committed to offering our customers the best-in-class forex products and solutions. This Global Forex Card, offered via our forex partner, reflects that promise. We are confident this card will set a new benchmark, and we anticipate a twofold increase in card issuance over the next year, driven by rising demand among frequent travellers and students.'

Nitin Motwani, Founder & CTO, BookMyForexcommented, 'Today's global traveller is more informed and value-conscious.

Iranian state media confirmed the death of Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

Mithi River desilting scam: Court grants bail to accused Jay Joshi, cites lack of evidence
The Mumbai Sessions court, while granting bail to Jay Joshi, a director of Virgo Specialities Pvt Ltd, on Thursday implicated in the Mithi river desilting scam, ruled that no evidence suggested he coerced contractors into renting machines, thereby causing financial loss to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).Thirteen individuals, including three BMC officials, have been booked in connection with the alleged fraud, which involved financial irregularities, inflated tenders, and corrupt practices, reportedly resulting in a Rs 65 crore loss to the civic was arrested on May 7 by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police, who alleged that he and co-accused Ketan Kadam, a director of Woder India LLP, acted as middlemen. They purportedly manipulated the tender process to force contractors to rent machines from a firm linked to them for desilting work. The prosecution claimed that equipment hire agreements were signed on January 15 and 16, 2021, despite Joshi's company not owning the machines until March 28, 2023. The machines, purchased for Rs 3.05 crore, were allegedly rented out at approximately Rs 30 lakh per month bail, Judge NG Shukla observed, 'Prima facie, there is no material indicating that the applicant compelled contractors or bidders to hire machines on rent, causing wrongful loss to the BMC.'The court also found no evidence linking Joshi to allegations of forgery. Noting that Kadam was the signatory on the documents, the judge added, 'There is no evidence of the applicant, as a director, compelling contractor companies' directors to hire the machines. In the absence of a specific role, there is no compelling reason to deny bail.'advertisementThe court further noted procedural lapses in Joshi's arrest, including the failure to inform his wife in writing at the time of his arrest at 10:30 pm. 'It would not have been difficult for the investigating officer to send a woman police constable to the applicant's Mumbai residence that night to provide written notification, enabling his relatives to seek legal advice,' the judge the court dismissed the prosecution's argument that other accused were still at large as an insufficient ground to deny bail to Watch
