This newly-launched forex card charges zero cross currency or ATM fee. Check details
A foreign exchange platform – BookMyForex – has rolled out Global Forex Card which is meant to eliminate the hidden costs of spending abroad. The card is loaded in US dollar and is accepted in over 200 countries worldwide. It offers savings with zero cross-currency fees, no ATM withdrawal or cash disbursement charges, besides cashback on zero markup forex rates. This card is well suited for international students and travellers who are planning to go abroad 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. While speaking about the launch, Sudarshan Motwani, Founder and CEO of says: '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, travellers often end up paying 3 percent to 5 percent extra on every transaction when spending in unsupported local currencies.' Key Benefits of the Global Forex Card Zero markup: This forex card offers complete transparency with forex rates and comes with no markups or extra conversion costs. The users can enjoy free international ATM withdrawals for convenient access to cash while abroad. No charges: There are no issuance, reload, unload, or annual charges, ensuring full cost transparency and zero surprises. Launch Offer: For a limited time, it offers two exclusive benefits on its all-new Global Forex Card. There is up to two percent cashback on every new forex order. Customers get forex at rates up to two percent lower than interbank rates, i.e., the rates seen on popular search engines. The maximum cashback, however, is capped at ₹7,500. Nitin Motwani, Founder and CTO, BookMyForex commented, 'Today's global traveller is more informed and value-conscious. They don't just compare airfares or hotel rates before planning their travel—they also compare forex rates and very well understand the hidden charges associated with foreign exchange. The Global Forex Card is built for this new kind of traveller. Whether it's avoiding hidden rate markups and cross-currency fees or accessing cash abroad without ATM surcharges, we've focused on removing every kind of charge possible.'

This restaurant from Canada just opened a big new spot in Miami Worldcenter
Yet another big, new restaurant has opened at Miami Worldcenter. This time it's Earls from Earls Restaurant Group based in Vancouver, British Colombia, which serves modern American cuisine. The restaurant is located a few doors down from Sixty Vines at Miami Worldcenter, the $6 billion, 27-acre mixed-use development of retail and residential units in downtown Miami. The restaurant has 70 locations, 11 of them in the United States, and recently opened a location on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. There's also a location at the Dadeland Mall in Kendall. Mark Hladik, president of Earls Restaurant Group, said the group was looking forward to serving downtown Miami. 'Our vision was to create a beautiful space with a sense of place and a completely unique design tailored to the greater Miami community and downtown Miami,' he said in a statement. It's a big place to fill. All Earls locations are designed to be unique, including this one, which seats 224 diners and spans 8,400 square feet, with a 2,000-square-foot patio that seats 110. The design involves a fair amount of wood and plants and is decorated with sculptural art from American and South American artists. The restaurant's centerpiece is an island bar with a stone countertop and a wood canopy. The menu features the usual suspects: steaks and seafood towers, and dishes like Korean ribs, Calabrian pasta, wagyu beef oshi press and a Tomahawk maple-glazed pork chop. Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates, said Earls was a good addition to the development. 'As a brand known for its vibrant energy and elevated dining experience, Earls is a perfect addition to our growing mix of world-class destinations,' he said in a statement. 'Its arrival marks another exciting milestone in our vision of creating a true city within a city — one that continues to elevate downtown Miami as a dynamic, walkable and connected urban core.' Most recently, the Worldcenter welcomed Maple & Ash, a luxury steakhouse from Chicago. Coming soon is the Italian restaurant Serafina from New York. Earls Miami Worldcenter Where: 150 NE Eighth St., Miami Hours: 11:30 a.m.-late Monday-Friday; 10 a.m.-late Saturday Sunday; happy hour Monday-Sunday from 4-7 p.m. and 10 p.m.-close Reservations and more information:
