Shopping from international websites? UPI can be used thanks to NPCI-Paypal tie-up

Indian customers will soon be able to use their domestic accounts linked to the United Payments Interface (UPI) to shop from international websites.

Thanks to a tie-up between the National Payments Corporation of India and US-based payments firm PayPal, cross-border UPI transactions will become a reality by the end of the year, expanding the reach of India’s digital payments system.
