To address unforeseen cash needs, the card provides one free ATM withdrawal per month, waiving additional charges. The card also offers a range of exclusive benefits upon loading a minimum of USD 3,000, ensuring convenience and value for users.

Additionally, users receive a complimentary International eSIM by Zetexa, enabling seamless connectivity while traveling abroad.
In addition to these benefits, the WSFx Global Pay App complements the card’s functionality, making financial management seamless and efficient. The app allows students to transact in just a few steps, complete digital KYC for quick onboarding, and manage their forex cards in real-time. Students can access live forex rates, generate or change PINs instantly, monitor their transaction history, and transfer funds between currency wallets with ease. It also includes options to check wallet balances and temporarily block the card if needed, offering enhanced security.
To top it off, the card features a robust rewards program, enabling users to earn points on every spend, which can be redeemed for exciting benefits. With its comprehensive range of features, the WSFx Student Pay Card ensures students abroad have a reliable, secure, and rewarding financial partner for their educational journey.

Commenting on the launch, Srikrishna Narasimhan, Whole-Time Director and Chief Executive Officer, WSFx Global Pay, said, “Sending a child abroad for higher education is a significant emotional and financial decision for parents. At WSFx Global Pay, we understand these concerns and have designed our WSFx Student Pay Card to ensure transparency, security, and peace of mind, eliminating risks like hidden charges or fraud.
The card also helps students develop healthy financial habits with features like zero forex conversion charges, currency loading multiple times, and Tap & Pay technology, enabling them to manage expenses responsibly while focusing on their studies. More than a payment tool, it serves as a trusted financial and payment companion, giving parents confidence and students the support they need to succeed in their academic journey.”

The WSFx Student Pay Card is a reflection to this commitment, providing young global citizens with financial tools that are secure, transparent, and tailored for their journey. By helping students manage their finances responsibly, we aim to give families the confidence and peace of mind they deserve as they take this significant step towards building a brighter future.”
