PNB to Introduce World Travel Card

There is good news for world travelers. Public sector bank, Punjab National is to launch World Travel Card. The bank has already introduced Global Credit Card earlier this year in February. Now, the company has planned to introduce World Travel Card for globetrotters.

Chief General Manager of PNB from credit card venture division, Ranjan Dhawan said to ET,

“It would be the safest and the convenient currency instrument to carry. Instead of carrying traveller’s cheque or global currency like Dollar or Pound, the World Travel Card holders would be able to withdraw local currency convertibles from any bank ATM of respective countries they visit. The holder has to pre load the card with the amount he would like to carry.”

The World Travel Card of Punjab National Bank will be introduced by November this year. This card would be pre-loaded with that amount which you want to carry along with on your tours of world.

You will be able to withdraw relevant currency of that country where you are traveling. This can be Dollar, Pound, Euro or Yen. It is just like a credit card that will be for tourists. The card will make your way easiest. Now, you needn’t to worry about currency converter. You are free to carry that currency which you want to carry. That will be relevant to your traveling country.

Yes, the World Travel Card is very good thing for world travelers but surly, it is not a new product. Recently, Reliance Group had also introduced the same card that was known as Reliance Money Travel Currency Card. The card was also for travelers. It was also equipped with multi currency.

So, there is no new offer by PNB as World Travel Card but surly, it is incorporated offer to make easier world traveling. The World Travel Card will be available for travelers only.
