Indian travelers now have access to a revolutionary cashless payment solution abroad with the launch of Paytm’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) International service. One97 Communications Limited (OCL), the parent company of Paytm, has introduced this innovative feature to make international transactions smoother and more convenient for Indian users.
With UPI International, Indian users can make seamless payments at various international locations without the need for foreign exchange or carrying physical cash. The service currently supports payments in countries such as the UAE, France, Singapore, Mauritius, Bhutan, and Nepal, where UPI is accepted by merchants. This development is particularly beneficial for Indian tourists, students, and business travelers, providing them with a hassle-free and secure way to pay for goods and services abroad.
This feature aligns with the global expansion of UPI, which has gained recognition as a fast, reliable, and secure digital payment system. By integrating UPI with international merchants, Paytm is not only simplifying payments for its users but also contributing to the broader adoption of Indian digital payment technologies on a global scale. The move highlights India’s leadership in the digital payments landscape and its ambition to promote indigenous financial technologies worldwide.
The UPI International feature also includes enhanced security protocols to ensure safe transactions, offering Indian users peace of mind while making payments in foreign countries. Paytm’s user-friendly interface and widespread adoption within India make it easier for users to transition to using UPI internationally, bridging the gap between domestic and global payment ecosystems.
This launch is a significant step towards achieving a truly global cashless economy, reflecting the growing acceptance of digital payments worldwide. Paytm’s commitment to innovation and its focus on providing convenience to its users continues to redefine the way payments are made, whether at home or abroad.
