MobiKwik, one of India’s leading digital wallet and UPI platforms, has introduced an instant Forex payment service in collaboration with NPCI Bharat BillPay Limited (NBBL). With this launch, MobiKwik becomes one of the first three fintech firms in India to offer digital foreign exchange services via a mobile app, expanding access to seamless and secure cross-border payments for users.

Introduction of Instant Forex on the MobiKwik App

The newly introduced Forex service enables users to buy, reload, or transfer USD instantly through the MobiKwik app using a T+0 same-day settlement facility.

The service is powered by Bharat Connect, which allows users to make payments through UPI or net banking at a fixed foreign exchange rate. For domestic deliveries, forex cards or documents can be dispatched from partnered bank branches, while for international transactions, funds can be transferred directly to a foreign bank account within the same day.

Key Features and Benefits

The integration of digital forex services on the MobiKwik app offers several benefits for individual and small-business users:

  • Instant transactions with same-day foreign currency transfers.
  • Transparent and fixed forex rates, eliminating the need to visit money changers.
  • Secure and convenient payments via UPI and net banking.
  • Seamless mobile banking experience, including topping up forex cards and sending funds abroad directly.

This service is particularly useful for students paying university fees abroad, families booking international travel, and small enterprises managing overseas business payments.

MobiKwik’s Move Toward Mobile-Led Banking

With this launch, MobiKwik has positioned itself as the first mobile-led foreign exchange service in India, integrating forex management directly into its digital payments platform.

Users can now access competitive exchange rates, reload or top up forex cards, and transfer foreign currency, all through the mobile app interface. The development marks a step forward in the company’s vision of enabling mobile-first banking and global financial access for its users.
