While staying in the USA during your study abroad journey, you must be informed about money management in the country. International Bank accounts, Forex Cards, ATM withdrawals, currency exchange etc are some of the primary things you will come across after reaching the United States. Let\u2019s discuss all the factors that will help you to deal with all such things and manage your money properly without any hindrances.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-currency-of-usa\"><span id=\"currency-of-usa\">Currency of USA<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The currency of the United States of America (USA) is US Dollars. You can get your INR converted into US Dollars easily at any authorised currency exchange company in the USA. In some parts of the country, especially in areas situated near the Canad-US border, some merchants may accept Canadian Dollars (CAD). However, it is suggested that only US dollars should be used so that you can get favourable exchange rates while exchanging INR to USD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong><em>Also Read: Looking for a money transfer with a foreign bank?

You can also exchange your currency at the airport or hotels which provide currency exchange facilities. However, it is better to avail currency exchange services with certified companies as you will have to pay high exchange rates and commissions at airports or hotels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best modes to get USD in exchange for INR is ATM cash withdrawal. You can use your Forex card or international debit card which will attract low or zero Forex markup. Always look for the <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/money-transfer\/cheapest-forex-card-for-students\/\"><strong>cheapest Forex card for students<\/strong><\/a> while staying in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you are withdrawing cash from an ATM, it will use the \u2018interbank exchange rate\u2019 which is the rate between the buying rate and the selling rate in the global currency markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using ATMs for currency exchange is a quick, easy and convenient method of getting cash for your expenses in local currency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also visit the exchange centres like A&amp;S Foreign Exchange, Travelex and CXI which are some of the best authorised foreign exchange centres in New York, USA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to explore more ways to exchange your currency, you can try finding an American bank which has a tie-up with a bank where you hold an account. In such cases, the partner banks may waive foreign transaction fees or commissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-traveller-s-cheque-in-the-usa\"><span id=\"travellers-cheque-in-the-usa\">Traveller\u2019s Cheque in the USA<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Traveller\u2019s Cheque was considered the safest and one of the most preferred modes used to carry your money abroad. However, after the increasing use of Forex Card, a lot of students stopped carrying traveller\u2019s cheques for carrying money as it has some demerits like unfavourable exchange rates, long waiting times, complex verification process etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The best alternative to a traveller\u2019s cheque is prepaid international cards, Forex cards or credit cards.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traveller\u2019s cheques are not widely accepted.
