The new prepaid card helps pilgrims avoid carrying foreign currency and thus shields them from fluctuating exchange rates when travelling internationally.
The card is available with both Visa and Mastercard options, and can be topped up during the travel.
HDFC Bank branch division country head Navin Puri said: "HDFC Bank is consistently looking at ways in which we can make a difference in people’s lives.
"With the launch of the prepaid forex card, we are offering pilgrims to Haj and Umrah a customized product to suit their ever-evolving requirements.
"They can make payments in a safe and easy manner, and also avail of the exclusive deals offered on the card."
The forex card is being offered to both HDFC Bank customers and general public at all branches across the country from today.
In addition to Saudi Riyals, HDFC’s ForexPlus card is also available for other currencies such as Australian Dollar, AED (Dirhams), Canadian Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar, Sterling Pound, Swiss Franc, Swedish Krona and US Dollar Currencies.
