Also, since competition exists between them to grab customer, they quote the cheapest rates. This means you get the best money transfer rates in town without needing to visit and bargain with every forex centre near you.

    4. Multiple Forex Stores Across India - More than 6500+ forex houses spread across many towns and cities in India. Thus you have the ability to choose from multiple options than just rely on one exchange rate quoted by a single bank or money changer.
