| Check exchange rate using currency converter
and compare the rate with the bank's offering and also findout how
much they charge for the transaction.
If ATM's are easily accessible in the country
you're visiting, I recommend using your ATM card for day-to-day
cash needs but it is difficult to know in advance what the specific
exchange rate will be. In effect, you have to wait for the charge
to go through or for the withdrawal to be debited. In addition,
some cache machines may have fees charged by both the local bank
and by your own bank or credit card company.
For purchasing goods or services, credit cards frequently offer
the best rates, although it can be hard to determine what they are
and the process may not transparent.
You will usually get good exchange rates at banks, post offices,
Thomascook and American
Express offices. When exchanging traveller’s checks, most
of the time it is better to exchange your money in the country you're
going to. An exception to this might be when you are going to USA
and UK.
If you are transferring money to India, online transfer from local
ICICI
account to Indian ICICI bank account is always worksout better.
Do not use any illegal money transfer agencies like hawala. These
agencies are very dangerous and often have links with local mafias.
