Indians Travelling Abroad Can Now Make UPI Payments Using Paytm

Indians traveling abroad can now make UPI payments using the Paytm app, as the fintech giant has rolled out ‘UPI International’ in select overseas markets. Paytm users can avail of the new feature in countries, including UAE, Singapore, France, Mauritius, Bhutan, and Nepal, where UPI is already accepted. This enhancement allows users to conveniently pay for shopping, dining, and local experiences abroad using UPI through their Paytm app. Setting up UPI International on the Paytm app is quick, with a one-time activation linked to the user’s bank account. Travelers can choose a usage period from 1 to 90 days based on their trip and can deactivate the service anytime to ensure payments are only made when intended. During the payment, users can view the exact foreign exchange rates and any conversion fees applied by their bank, ensuring full transparency before completing the transaction. This feature helps prevent accidental transactions with foreign merchants once users are back in India.
