Wise is gearing up to launch its multi-currency travel card in India, marking a major step in its efforts to make cross-border spending simpler and more transparent for local travellers.
The card will allow users to hold over 40 currencies and spend in more than 170 countries at real mid-market exchange rates, without hidden foreign exchange markups.
The upcoming launch was highlighted during the Global Fintech Festival in Mumbai, which was attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Wise’s Head of Expansion for APAC, Shrawan Saraogi, said the card builds on the company’s growing presence in India, where it already facilitates about 10% of inbound remittances and operates a hub of over 200 employees in Hyderabad.
The company also received the “Best Cross-Border Solution” award at the festival, recognising its work in simplifying international payments.
A waitlist for the Wise card in India is now open here.
