"The card will also provide forex rate lock-in with zero mark-up on cash withdrawals and shopping abroad. Travellers get protection against the frequent currency fluctuations by locking in the currency exchange rate they availed during the time of loading the card, and not pay different rates every time they use the card," it said.
Additionally, it will provide travelers insurance covers against misuse of lost card, personal accident insurance and loss of baggage or personal documents.
