Thomas Cook (India) has expanded its prepaid forex card portfolio to 28 currencies, with the addition of 16 new global currencies - creating one of India’s widest currency portfolios on a prepaid forex card. This move reinforces the company’s leadership in travel and forex innovation, aligned with its focus on enabling smarter, secure and more efficient international travel experiences.

Indians have become increasingly experimental in their choice of holiday destinations, especially post-covid, driving strong demand across emerging international markets. However, local currency for many of these destinations is not always readily available. This often forces multiple currency conversions, from INR to USD and then to the local currency, resulting in higher costs and inconvenience. Thomas Cook India’s expanded prepaid Forex Card portfolio addresses this gap by enabling travellers to load and spend directly in local currencies, eliminate multiple conversions and access a secure, seamless alternative to cash.

The newly added 16 currencies include: Chinese Yuan, Swedish Krona, Vietnamese Dong, Malaysian Ringgit, Indonesian Rupiah, Danish Krone, Hong Kong Dollar, Qatari Riyal, Norwegian Krone, Omani Riyal, Kuwaiti Dinar, Bahraini Dinar, Bangladeshi Taka, South African Rand, South Korean Wo, Philippine Peso and complement the Company’s existing suite of 12 currencies – US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Swiss Franc, UAE Dirham, Thai Baht, Saudi Riyal and New Zealand Dollar. Notably, the inclusion of currencies such as the Chinese Yuan reflects the growing relevance of destinations aligned with strengthening bilateral relations, increased trade flows and expanding air connectivity, underlining Thomas Cook India’s commitment to staying ahead of evolving travel patterns.

The expanded suite of 28 currencies is available across both Visa and Mastercard prepaid forex cards, ensuring seamless global acceptance. Customers can purchase and load currencies through Thomas Cook India’s extensive omnichannel network, including its retail outlets, digital platforms, and via its partnership with Blinkit--enabling customers to buy and load forex on their prepaid cards in under an hour. Additionally, Thomas Cook India’s Forex on WhatsApp provides 24x7 forex services assistance, from live rate to end-to-end transactions for today’s on-the-go, always-connected consumer.
