NPCI International and Google Pay Partner to Expand UPI Globally

Google Pay, an online payment aggregator, will now provide UPI service to consumers travelling overseas, following PhonePe and Paytm.

The digital payment company is collaborating with NPCI Payments International Limited (NPIL), a subsidiary of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

Users who are travelling overseas can use Google Pay UPI to make payments to foreign merchants in their home currency.

Currently, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Oman, Qatar, USA, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom offer the facility.

Users of PayNow in Singapore and UPI in India will be able to send money securely and instantaneously between the two nations.

Users of the BHIM, PhonePe, and Paytm applications can also utilise this feature in addition to Google Pay.
