The initiative aims to simplify forex access, reduce processing time, and cater to digital-first travellers seeking seamless travel readiness.
Thomas Cook (India) has launched a first-of-its-kind partnership with Blinkit, bringing foreign exchange retail to a quick commerce platform. The service offers doorstep delivery of Thomas Cook’s Borderless Travel Card for leisure travellers and Study Buddy for students – all within minutes.
Currently live in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, the service will expand to additional markets in phases. Customers receive blank forex cards instantly, while Thomas Cook’s forex team completes video KYC, statutory compliance, and card loading, making travellers ready within an hour.
Deepesh Varma, EVP – Foreign Exchange, Thomas Cook (India), said:
“Quick commerce is reshaping customer expectations. By offering blank forex cards via Blinkit, we’re enhancing convenience and redefining travel readiness.”
Anish Shrivastava, SVP – Revenue, Blinkit, added:
“We’ve collaborated with Thomas Cook India to enable convenient delivery of blank forex cards through Blinkit. Together, we’re turning a time-consuming task into a seamless experience.”
The collaboration addresses the growing demand for speed and digital-first services in forex, a sector traditionally perceived as complex and time-consuming.
