Who We Are

ExTravelMoney is an online marketplace for foreign exchange and remittance services in India. We empower students and travellers going abroad to make the Right and the Best choice when it comes to booking foreign exchange services from RBI authorized banks and money changers near their locality.

Our Story

ExTravelMoney was started in 2015 with the goal to simplify the process of searching for best rate foreign exchange services offered by RBI licenced banks and money changers. Also, we wanted to enable people to book these services online itself from the comfort of their home or office.

Our small initiative has now blossomed into the biggest online marketplace for forex services in India. We now boast a network strength of 6500+ partnered forex stores across the length and breadth of India.

Our Commitment to Compliance

Extravelmoney.com is committed to operating in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. As a marketplace, we facilitate connections between customers and licensed foreign exchange providers. While Extravelmoney.com itself does not hold a separate RBI license for foreign exchange transactions, all transactions are processed exclusively through our RBI-licensed partners. We continuously monitor regulatory changes and work closely with our partners to ensure a secure and compliant platform. Should you have any specific compliance-related query, you can contact us at hello@extravelmoney.com or +919995023600.

RBI Guidelines Adherent

Our Trust & Safety Standards

ExTravelMoney operates as an online platform that facilitates outward remittances through our partner Authorised Dealers (AD Category-I / AD Category-II). We work continuously with our partner ADs to support compliance with RBI directions on online remittance arrangements with third-party entities (RBI circular: CO,FED.APRD.No. S-1073/02.01.020/2025-26), along with applicable provisions under FEMA, 1999 and RBI KYC/AML guidelines.

What we do to comply (in coordination with our partner ADs):
Full transparency before payment

We display the name(s) of the AD(s) involved, their AD status (Cat-I / Cat-II), their roles and responsibilities, and the maximum expected time for credit to the beneficiary before you initiate a remittance.

AD identity on our platform

Our remittance pages clearly mention the partner AD’s name, authorisation category, role in the transaction flow, and the maximum credit timeline.

Exchange rate and charges transparency

The exchange rate is provided by the partner AD only. Where applicable, we ensure an invoice/receipt is issued showing a clear breakup of exchange rate, markup/commission/service fee, and other charges, and it identifies the AD quoting the rate.

No third-party handling of remittance funds

Remittance funds do not flow into any ExTravelMoney account at any stage. Funds move through authorised banking channels as per the partner AD’s regulated process.

Customer data privacy and consent

We follow a need-based data collection approach with explicit consent and audit trail. Customers can grant/deny consent for specific data uses, request restriction of disclosure, revoke consent, and request deletion/forgetting of data where applicable, subject to legal/regulatory requirements.

Data storage and security controls

Customer data is handled as per agreed controls with partner ADs, including data localisation expectations, information security safeguards, incident handling, and adherence to applicable RBI/industry cybersecurity requirements.

Formal grievance redressal

We display grievance redressal contact details and escalation paths. We also provide easy access to the AD’s designated grievance channels, including a nodal officer where applicable, with defined timelines for resolution.

Product and support information in one place

We keep our platform updated with details of our relevant forex/remittance offerings, partner AD engagement scope, customer care and grievance mechanism, privacy policy, and links to RBI complaint resources (as applicable).

IMPORTANT DISCLAMER
Important note

The partner AD Category-I / AD Category-II remains the regulated entity responsible for FEMA/RBI compliance, KYC/AML, exchange rate quoting, and end-to-end remittance settlement. ExTravelMoney's role is limited to facilitating the customer journey via an online platform in accordance with the partner AD's approved process.
