Hence, we have taken the initiative to completely waive all remittance charges, both for Indian and international banks, for all cross-border wire transfers up to USD 1000 or 1000 units of any foreign currency." "Our special tie-ups with reputed private banks ensure secure international transactions, offering better rates-typically up to 5% better than those provided by banks and other fintech players in the market. By eliminating transfer fees and offering substantial cashback rewards, we expect to drive our growth rate beyond 50%, solidifying our commitment to delivering exceptional value in the remittance market," he added. The number of Indian students seeking higher education abroad has surged, with projections indicating that by 2025, two million Indian students will be enrolled in foreign universities, spending up to $70 billion. The United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia are the most chosen destinations for Indian students. This trend presents a significant opportunity for the remittance market. According to the latest RBI data, outward remittances from India under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) hit a new high of $31.73 billion in FY24. Nitin Motwani, Founder and CTO of BookMyForex, commented, "The money transfer process on BookMyForex is designed to be smooth and effortless. Users can book their international transfers with the option to pay later where BookMyForex freezes the exchange rate for 3 days, ensuring that users benefit from stable rates even if market fluctuations occur. For added convenience, BookMyForex offers door-step KYC service, making the entire process hassle-free and accessible right from the home." The "BookMyForex Student Offer" is a limited-time promotion, valid up to September 30th, 2024.
