Xoom.com, PNB Enhance Partnership to Provide Same Day Bank Deposits
No one gets your money to India faster than Xoom.com
Announcement / Banking Jun 29, 2009, 20:36 IST

Xoom.com, the fastest growing online money transfer company, and Punjab National Bank (PNB), India’s only 100% computerized public sector bank, continue to expand and build their 9-year partnership. The two companies now provide faster and easier money transfer service with same day bank deposits and cash pickup in minutes across India.

With same-day bank deposits, receivers do not have to wait days and days for money to reach their bank account. Funds deposited to a recipient’s PNB account are available the same day the money is sent. Xoom.com also offers fast bank deposits to all banks in India.

In addition to bank deposits, Xoom.com and PNB also provide instant cash pickup at almost 4,500 PNB locations, making it easier for receivers to pickup money. Receivers can pick up the cash in minutes after the money has been sent.

Mr. S. K Dubey, General Manager, International, Punjab National Bank said, “We continue to be delighted by our partnership with Xoom.com. Xoom.com possesses the technology, expertise, and the reputation for quality service that matches PNB’s own. Punjab National Bank recommends Xoom.com for worry-free and fast money transfers to India. Together, we make life easier for Non-Resident Indians across the world. No one gets money to India faster than Xoom.com.”

Xoom.com offers great locked-in exchange rates, so recipients can get more rupees for the money that is sent. Xoom.com locks in exchange rates when the transfer is started so the sender and recipient know the exact amount that will be received. Also, there are no fees for transfers to bank accounts for amounts greater than $1,000. 

Xoom.com also offers the most complete range of sending and receiving options. Senders can pay with their bank account, credit/debit card, or PayPal, and recipients can receive the money via cash pickup, bank deposit, or safe home delivery in India.

“We look forward to the continuation of our relationship with Punjab National Bank. Our partnership with PNB enables us to provide fast and convenient money transfer service to India. With same day bank deposits and instant cash pickup, your loved ones in India don’t have to wait for days to receive funds,” said John Kunze, CEO of Xoom.com.

Xoom.com uses advanced technology and proprietary fraud detection to secure customer financial transactions and personal information. With a VeriSign-secured website and strict security measures, Xoom.com encrypts and protects customer information. Xoom.com guarantees that transferred funds will be received by each recipient or the transaction will be refunded in full.

Consumers can send money to India by visiting xoom.com/India, enter sender information, choose how the money will be received, and the amount to be remitted. Click “send” and the money is on its way.
