HDFC Regalia ForexPlus Card: Save Money on Foreign Transactions (Zero Markup Fees!)

[@sumeshm2150]

Hello Sir , i am planning to travel Malaysia next week. When i check hdfc multi currency in site they didn't specify support for Malaysian Ringget currency. So i had to check hdfc regalia forex card . 1.Whether this works in Malaysia? Since its loaded with usd 2. Whether swiping in malasia for any gadget purchase involve any other charges? 3.And as you said if we retrieve money from Atm it will be 4 doller charged extra . Otherthan this no other charges . Right? 4. Joning fee will be waived off if we load with 1000 dollar. That offer still exists? 5. After coming back to india still i can keep this card or need to unload currency back to INR? Any extra charges to keep

[@bankexpert]

1. Yes, it works in Malaysia. 2. No extra charges except the Visa/Mastercard currency conversion fee (very low) 3. Card issuance Fee: INR 1000 plus applicable GST per card Reload Fee: INR 75 plus applicable GST per reload transaction 4. You can keep the card; there are no extra charges.

Hi, I'm travelling to Thailand from India. Please help me decide between the regalia forex plus card and the multicurrency platinum forexplus chip card. Doesnt the multicurrency card make more sense since atm withdrawal fees is 63 baht as compared to 4 dollars on the regalia? Also isn't it better since I can directly add thai bhat to instead of first buying in dollars and then having it converted to thai bhat which seems to be the case in the regalia card.

[@bankexpert]

Both cards are good. It depends on your convenience.

For transactions where the transaction currency is different than the currency available on Regalia ForexPlus Card (US Dollars) bank will NOT charge any cross currency mark-up charges on such transactions.

Hi, I recently paid an online order on a global website and made payment via my hdfc debit card. After making the payment I received an email from HDFC about forex markup fee. what is Forex markup fee and how does it work? And it also said that after payment settlement with merchant, I will be billed for forex markup fee. So, how do I pay that? Pls reply as this is the first time I have made a global order and need to to these above details. Thanks

[@bankexpert]

When you made any transactions with a normal debit/credit card, the bank charged forex markup fees, which are around 2.5% - 3.5% + GST. because your spend is INR to different currency. Once payment is settled for the merchant, the bank will deduct the forex markup charge.
