Recently, the experience of a Pakistani national went viral while he was praising India’s digital payments system. He recounted when he was in a vendor’s shop and no one gave him any cash for the food. He thought it was for free, but on enquiry, he was baffled at the QR code payment system that seemed available to every small hawker and every extensive showroom.
India’s G20 hosting also saw a lot of foreign nationals getting introduced to the concept. German minister was seen using UPI, and G20 delegates were allowed to make payments using UPI. India also showcased the wonders of E-Rupee vouchers.
Many countries have even made contracts with the Indian government to implement a UPI-like system in their countries. It has been extended to countries like Singapore, UAE, Bhutan, France, Nepal, Malaysia, etc. where the local payment interfaces have been integrated with UPI for transactions. As RuPay and UPI become international, this could become a success story for the world.
Let us understand the basis of this success for India:
UPI stands for Unified Payments Interface. It is a real-time payment system and interbank electronic fund transfer system in India. UPI was developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and launched in April 2016. It is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

UPI is designed to facilitate instant money transfers between banks and simplify digital payments. Here's how UPI works:
India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is widely regarded as one of the most successful and transformative digital payment systems in the world. Since its launch in April 2016, UPI has witnessed remarkable growth and adoption, reshaping the way Indians make transactions and contributing to the country's push towards a digital economy. Here are key factors that have contributed to UPI's success.
UPI's success has not only simplified the lives of millions of Indians but has also positioned India as a global leader in digital payments. Its impact extends beyond convenience, contributing to financial inclusion, transparency, and the reduction of the informal economy. As UPI continues to evolve and innovate, it is likely to play an even more significant role in shaping India's digital future.
