INDIE, the revolutionary banking app from IndusInd Bank, introduces the Megastar tier - a passport to hassle-free travel with zero forex markup. Let's help you understand what Forex Markup is and how it affects your travel plans abroad.
Forex markup is an additional fee applied by banks when you make transactions in a currency different from your card's default currency. In other words, it is a fee charged when you convert the denominations. This extra charge is often presented as a percentage above the standard exchange rate, contributing to the overall cost of your transactions when you are spending overseas.
Forex Markup fees are usually charged in the following situations:
Traditional banking practices involve various charges related to forex transactions. These can include conversion fees, service charges, and, significantly, forex markup. Various financial institutions, including banks in the market might impose varying forex markup rates, sometimes reaching as high as 3.5% or more on each transaction.
