Indians living abroad have a reason to rejoice as travel company Cox & Kings has joined hands with UAE Exchange to facilitate money transfer to India.
The partnership will enable Indians working abroad to remit funds to their families in India with convenience and flexibility.
The advantage of the new service is that the money can be transferred in minutes.
“Cox & Kings has identified select locations within India, from where the customers can avail this service. There are no charges applicable to the recipient in India. Besides foreign inward money, domestic money transfer services will also be available at the designated Cox & Kings’ outlets through this process,” a company statement said.
The initiative enables money transfer equivalent of $2,500 to India as per the present guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India. An Indian national can receive 30 such remittances in a financial year.
“The association will facilitate money transfer services for individuals residing abroad for inward remittance without any hassle. It will help residents and foreign tourists to receive money instantly in India or do a domestic money transfer to any account in India through IMPS. The partnership with Cox & Kings will cater the rising demands of inward and domestic remittance through secure money transfer services,” said V George Antony, Managing Director, UAE Exchange.
