Unified Payments Interface or UPI has become synonymous with seamless digital payments. Launched in 2016 by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), UPI has rapidly evolved into a groundbreaking payment system that is revolutionizing the way Indians transact. It has become a global benchmark for hassle-free payments through mobile phones.

UPI has also transformed the way businesses operate in India. From street vendors to e-commerce giants, businesses of all sizes now leverage UPI to accept payments. QR code-based payments have become ubiquitous, allowing even small merchants to embrace digital transactions without the need for costly point-of-sale systems. Now, with UPI Global, which is a low cost remittance infrastructure, it is all set to spread its reach to every corner of the world.
