Feedback from Client:
It’s been a big savings day for us. Saved of half-a million rupees made our day. Till now we were blindly trusting the other service providers and banking partners as far as the rates offered by them and accepting on a good faith. But after introduction of RouteForex& team, it was an eye-opening experience for us. Great support from dealing desk and effective assistance from the local officials. This is a good value addition for our company and we recommend this activity in our networks. Thank you!
