Travelling abroad need advice for currency exchange

Hi folks,

I’m planning to travel abroad and it’s my first time so I’m wondering which is the best way to exchange currency and are cards like Niyo global good?

All experiences and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

Niyo global works fairly well. No challenges so far, have been using it for the past 1+ month (for both online transactions & FX cash withdrawal). Go for it.

Used Orient Exchange for converting INR into FX - did some basic benchmarking, found them to offer the best rates.

Niyo global works really well in SEA but have faced some issues in europe. Try taking out some cash from an ATM (don’t do this from the airport) for emergencies and carry one or two international visa/master credit cards. That’s more than enough. Safe travels :)

Avoid airports to exchange cash. Compare the rates in ebix and thomas.

See if you can apply for hdfc forex card.
