Cash Vs Debit/Credit Card Vs Forex Card | Best forex card for international travel in 2024?

[@harshalrakhra]

Scapia Federal bank ka credit card best hai, zero forex markup hai I used it in bali and malaysia

[@TravelingBanda]

Good to know. I know it’s a credit card but Was it free for ATM withdrawals too? Was there any Indonesia ATM charge which was applied to the transaction?

[@harshalrakhra]

For withdrawals i used FI Federal bank debit card, only 100 INR extra was debited everytime

[@TravelingBanda]

@@harshalrakhra thanks a lot. That’s good to know. Very useful info.

[@sudiptaid]

​@@harshalrakhra In my area in West Bengal, I can't get fi app. it's not servicable in my location

[@vr5663]

@harshalrakhra scapia is not taking in new applications so do you have any alternative? Please suggest.

I have seen a lot of travel related videos. Everyone speaks about the glam and scam of the place. But no one is as informative as you are. Aap reality batate ho and acche se explain bhi karte ho. How simply and quickly you have covered one of the most important point while travelling abroad. I am traveling Singapore and Bali next month and your videos are helping me a lot. 👍

[@TravelingBanda]

Thankyou so much. I really appreciate this honest and genuine comment. I often make videos so that everyone who watches can travel with ease and within their budget and when people get to do that I’m the happiest. 🙏🏽

[@avijnandas6824]

Even I was confused between forex card issued by bank or Niyo. After that I also have decided I will pick my own bank's forex card. Just one quick question, can I swipe my forex card in US$ across Bali?

[@TravelingBanda]

@@avijnandas6824 yes you can easily. No issues at all

One of my relative went USA depending fully on forex card and was about to starve as his card stopped working and blocked. Literally he begged to friends in US and India and some how returned home with his useless card with lot of money in it. Still he is fighting with bank for return of his own money. He now advises his friend to take cash as prime source and very few in cards.

[@TravelingBanda]

@@prasenjitsingh5156 oh that’s such a painful situation to be in. Was it a major bank card or a non banking card?

[@danielabraham101]

It was just the kind of content I was looking for. Thanks a ton. I'm planning a trip to Australia and New Zealand in Feb 2025. Totally new to international travel. This is a big help. I'm trying to figure out all the other issues. Even going through the comments are educative. 🙏🙏 Subscribed.

glad you found this video helpful!! thanks a lot for the comment!!

[@Lamp141]

Nice video. Shall one use the same sim card as in India, which is linked with all banks to receive OTP there in Singapore. Will this require to purchase an international pack from Airtel in India ? Or Shall one purchase the new sim card there after arrival?

[@TravelingBanda]

For OTP you need your number to be international there is no other option other than that

[@suchismitamitra6250]

From airport to hotel in taxi fare how would i pay ???through us dollar or forex card????

[@shankarganguly6407]

Any idea what is wallet to wallet transfer fee? If I have ICICI prepaid forex card and load it from my ICICI savings account, does this wallet to wallet applies for this?

[@TravelingBanda]

Ideally there’s a small fess but that too depends on bank and how much you top up on card.

[@pratikgaurav2504]

I am going to study in ireland. Can you suggest me which credit should i take and for using it for international transactions

[@TravelingBanda]

Hi! I met an Indian student while traveling in Kazakhstan and he suggest me the following. (They are debit cards) PNB visa signature debit card for withdrawal charges ₹150 from atm and no mark up SBI (for tap transaction) no charges and markup withdrawal 5% As for credit cards most don’t have a free system for tap or swipe but their charges varies so it will become expensive over time in a country like Ireland.

[@M46u777]

Sir doosri country me dollars use kar sakte hai har jagah ?mujhe Bali Jana hai to agar card ka issue Aya to isi liye kitne filler rakh sakte hai or har jagah use kar sakte hai kya

[@priyamrocks01]

100$ = 1570000 IDR Official rate in bali..

[@priyamrocks01]

in bali many banks ATM does not charge extra charges from you... if they chages any amount then try another bank ATM

[@TravelingBanda]

Keep usd you get best rate for it there.

[@zignesh]

Using bank's multicurrency forex card is a better option or unimoney/slice/niyo types card is better, whats the difference in conversion charges

[@TravelingBanda]

@@zignesh I always prefer a bank card over anything else as it’s more safe and has better network. Diff in conversion is also marginal

How to make my sbi linked mobile Indian number as international. Because in foreign my network will not be available.

[@TravelingBanda]

The only choice for that is to make your number international Roming so you can get otp

[@Adventure_with_Homen]

@@TravelingBanda it means if i make it as international roaming. then I will receive OTP, even without having the country telicom network, say Airtel. is it like that?

[@TravelingBanda]

@@Adventure_with_Homen yes when you go abroad the service provider have tie up with local network provider so you will receive all calls and otps on your Indian number even if your on foreign network.

[@Adventure_with_Homen]

@@TravelingBanda thank you so much for helping me

[@Adventure_with_Homen]

one anothe question, Whether SBI global debit card will works in Sweden bank ATMs.

[@Bhattii]

Which Card Is Good To Use In Vietnam Atm's?

[@TravelingBanda]

Hi! So I have made a dedicated video on Vietnam when it comes to money and ATM the title of the video is “Vietnam Tour: iPhone 15 is Cheaper Than Dubai here! ATM Fees, Currency, Shopping, Scams & Veg Food” it in the Vietnam playlist. You will find all info there. But yes all cards work in Vietnam ATM and the fees vary. So if they have a network atm the withdrawal is free. I used an atm which barely charged 70-80 inr per transaction so you can use that as well

[@VISHALSINGh-ss7tn]

how otp work in another country ?

[@TravelingBanda]

@@VISHALSINGh-ss7tn for that you’ll need an international roaming
