NPCI International Payments Ltd. and Network International have formed a partnership to facilitate UPI payments in the United Arab Emirates using QR codes at the network’s point-of-sale (POS) terminals. Through this programme, all transactions made by Indian tourists and non-resident Indians (NRIs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will be safe and easy.
More than sixty thousand businesses in industries like grocery stores, transportation, hotels, and retail use Network International’s 200,000 point-of-sale terminals. With time, UPI acceptance will spread to many different types of businesses, including restaurants, shops, and even popular tourist spots like the Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall. Through this collaboration, we will be able to offer a secure QR-based solution for international money transfers.
Now, UPI can be used at the network’s point-of-sale terminals in the UAE by Indian visitors and non-resident Indians (NRIs) with Indian bank accounts. Promoting digital commerce and further developing economic connections between India and the UAE, this achievement signifies a substantial step towards improving the convenience and security of transactions for Indian visitors in the UAE.
