Kolkata, July 2 (Reporter) ICICI Bank on Tuesday announced the launch of its ‘Student Sapphiro Forex Card’, a premium forex prepaid card crafted specifically for students who are going abroad for higher education.
The card, powered by Visa, provides exclusive benefits and convenience to students as well as their parents to manage education-related expenses abroad such as admission fees, course-related fees, and other day-to-day expenses including travel, dining, and groceries, among others.
The card offers the freedom of loading and transacting in 15 currencies, without any cross-currency mark-up charge being levied by the Bank, allowing students to conveniently travel across the globe even if they load only one currency on the card. This initiative comes in the wake of a continuing surge in the number of Indian students going overseas for higher education.
The ICICI Bank Student Sapphiro Forex Card comes with an array of joining benefits up to Rs 15,000, along with exclusive privileges. It comes with a welcome kit with two cards-- a primary and a replacement card-- that can be activated digitally through iMobile Pay, internet banking, or by calling the Bank’s Customer Care in the event of loss/damage of the primary card.
Like any other Forex card offered by the Bank, this card can be reloaded digitally using iMobile Pay and Internet banking by the students and their parents, instantly, anytime, and from anywhere. With this card, the Bank has a suite of Forex cards for students traveling abroad.
' We believe that this card empowers students and their parents with a hassle-free and seamless experience for payments abroad.” private lender's head of payment solution Niraj Tralshawala said...////...
