IDFC FIRST Bank Restores Reward Points with Zero Forex Markup on International Credit Card Transactions
IDFC FIRST Bank has updated its credit card policy to allow customers to earn reward points on international transactions while enjoying zero forex markup charges. This reverses the bank's earlier decision to remove rewards on overseas spends after waiving forex fees. The revised policy ensures cardholders benefit from both savings on foreign currency charges and applicable reward points according to their card's reward structure, enhancing value for international card users.
