To update your profile details (e.g., contact info, address, bank details), please reach out to Karbon Support with your request.
Important Notes:
Changes to legal entity name, registered address, or bank account details usually require supporting documentation.
The exact documents needed will depend on:
The type of change
Your account profile (e.g., individual, company, partnership)
Why we don’t list all document requirements upfront:
Each change is reviewed individually by our internal teams.
This ensures we only request documents that are genuinely required, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth.
Once we review your request, we’ll confirm exactly what’s needed so you can provide everything in one go.
Settlement timelines depend on when your transfer request is initiated relative to the forex cut-off time:
Transfers initiated before 3:00 PM IST (Forex Cut-off Time)
If your transfer request is submitted and processed before 3:00 PM on a working day, the funds are typically settled into your registered Indian bank account the same day, usually by end of business day (EOD).
Transfers initiated after 3:00 PM IST
Requests made after the 3:00 PM cut-off are processed on the next working day, with funds credited by EOD of that day.
Your bank/account details are shared with you via email on the day your Karbon FX account is activated.
If you can’t locate them:
Search your inbox for the activation email from Karbon.
If you still can’t find it, contact Karbon Support and request a resend.

Keep these details confidential and secure, they are required for receiving payments into your account.

Our process:

For inward transactions, you can request a Payment Credit Advice confirming that the funds have been credited to Karbon’s account and are on their way to your bank.
