New Delhi, Jan 12 . Users from some countries with non-resident accounts can transact through UPI using international mobile numbers with non-resident external (NRE) and non-resident ordinary (NRO) accounts.
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has asked the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) ecosystem to allow users from some countries with non-resident account types like non-resident external (NRE) and non-resident ordinary (NRO) accounts with international mobile numbers to transact through UPI. In simple words, this means that non-resident Indians (NRIs) will soon be able to make payments in UPI without having to get an Indian mobile number.
To begin with, NPCI will be enabling transactions from mobile numbers having country codes of Singapore, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Oman, Qatar, USA, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, along with the current domestic country code.
