Banking made easy for NRIs: IDFC First Bank enables UPI access for NRIs using international mobile numbers

IDFC First Bank has introduced UPI (Unified Payments Interface) services for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), allowing them to make digital payments in India using their international mobile numbers. This move eliminates the need for NRIs to maintain an Indian SIM card and simplifies access to India’s digital payment ecosystem. The service is available to customers holding NRE (Non-Resident External) or NRO (Non-Resident Ordinary) accounts with the bank.
