NPCI International Payments Ltd. is expanding Unified Payments Interface (UPI) acceptance in the UAE to boost digital payments and support a cashless economy.
The platform aims to enable UPI in high-frequency sectors like retail, hospitality, entertainment, transportation, and essential services by collaborating with regulators and acquirers.
The initiative supports the UAE's goal of achieving 90% digital transactions by 2026 and enhances payment experiences for Indian travelers visiting the UAE.
NPCI International's partnerships in the UAE with financial institutions and payment providers have facilitated QR-based UPI acceptance at outlets like Dubai Duty Free and Lulu Hypermarket.
