UPI with Singapore and Dubai “may start this year”
Varma stated that UPI with Singapore and Dubai “may start this year” while speaking on the sidelines of the G20’s maiden “Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion” summit in Kolkata. The announcement will probably include France as well. Indian travellers will be able to use the UPI in these nations. There are several nations where the system will be expanded in the works, according to Varma.
He stated “It is mostly the policy readiness and regulatory matter. It is not technology. Also, there are a lot of companies who charge extra fee for cross-border transactions.”
