Section 1: Understanding Forex Transactions on HDFC Bank Forex Card

Forex transactions refer to the buying or selling of foreign currencies. When you use your HDFC Bank Forex Card for international transactions, such as making payments or withdrawing cash in a foreign currency, these are considered forex transactions.
Subsection 1.2: How Forex Transactions Work on HDFC Bank Forex Card
When you initiate a forex transaction on your HDFC Bank Forex Card, the transaction details are sent to the bank for processing.

The processing time for these transactions varies depending on several factors.

The processing time for forex transactions on your HDFC Bank Forex Card can vary based on the type of transaction. For example, a point-of-sale transaction at a merchant establishment may reflect in your account almost instantly, while a cash withdrawal from an ATM might take slightly longer to process.
Subsection 2.2: Network Connectivity
The network connectivity between the point of transaction and HDFC Bank’s systems can also affect the processing time. In areas with a strong network connection, the transaction may reflect in your account more quickly, while in areas with weaker connectivity, there may be a slight delay in the transaction reflecting in your account.
