Xoom, a digital money transfer provider, recently announced a partnership with HDFC Bank, to offer instant deposits to INR denominated HDFC Bank accounts in India.

Now NRIs can send money anytime, anywhere from their computer, mobile phone or tablet and their bank deposits reach their recipients’ HDFC Bank account instantly.”

“At HDFC Bank, we are consistently looking at new ways in which we can make a difference in the lives of our customers. Through this tie-up with Xoom we will be able to provide this breakthrough service of instant deposits,” says Rajender Sehgal, group head, financial institutions group, HDFC Bank. “We look forward to bringing a whole new world of convenience and flexibility to our account holders, allowing them to receive money from the U.S. in a secure manner, at any time of the day or night.

Xoom provides great locked-in exchange rates for money transfers to India, and there is no fee when customers send more than $1,000 and pay with their U.S.-based bank account. Plus, Xoom continues to provide fast bank deposits within four hours to all other banks in India, including to NRE and NRO accounts, when sent during bank processing hours in India.
