Bangalore is a city that many people tend to gravitate to, not only for the energy that it radiates, but also because it is a hub for many companies in IT as well as the manufacturing sector. This makes the number of people travelling to and out of Bangalore very high.

The past decade has also seen an influx of tourists coming in for medical treatments as India and Bangalore specifically has become a popular destination for medical tourism. The low cost of treatment is attracting over 1,50,000 tourists every year, which will make it a 2 billion dollar industry by the year 2015. 
This huge inflow and outflow of tourists means roaring business for every foreign currency exchanger in Bangalore.
The to-do list

If you are looking for a foreign currency exchanger in Bangalore, you will find that there is no dearth of them. However identifying the right one and the one most suitable for your requirement is a task that requires some homework.

1)    Credibility and accreditation: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) authorizes banks and full-fledged money dealers under section 10(1) of FEMA, 1999, to deal with foreign exchange instruments. Apart from banks, there are other dealers online and otherwise, who are authorized to do so.

2)    Dealer's best avoided: In your search for a foreign currency exchanger in Bangalore, it is best to avoid places like the airport, the hotel you are staying at or at various obscure shops. While airports charge exorbitant rates, the little known shops and hotels are not reliable sources for forex.

3)    Ceiling on amount depending on purpose of travel: If you are travelling out of India, the maximum amount you can carry as a tourist is USD 10,000. There are similar ceilings on the amount you can carry if you are travelling for business, studies or for medical treatment. A tourist travelling to India needs to fill up the Currency Declaration Form on arrival and can bring up to USD 10,000 in the form of traveller's cheques or USD 5,000 as currency notes. Specific products also have their own limits.

4)    Look for "Combo Deals" to save money: Choose a foreign currency exchanger in Bangalore offering multiple forex products like currency notes, traveller's cheques, prepaid forex cards, money transfer services, travel insurance etc. You are likely to get attractive discounts on buying multiple products.

5)    Remittance limits: There is a cap of USD 25,000 for remittance, irrespective of the purpose for which it is done. Your foreign currency exchanger in Bangalore will help you understand the details required.

6)    Generic and product specific rates: Over and above the currency exchange rate, your foreign currency exchanger in Bangalore will also charge certain rates for their services. Its best to settle for a currency exchanger offering live rates, since they are much lighter on your pocket than the flat rates that charged by most forex players and banks.
