PhonePe launches UPI international service for its users for payments in 5 countries

Fintech firm PhonePe on Tuesday said its users will now be able to pay to international merchant outlets in five countries, including the UAE, Nepal, and Singapore, using Unified Payments Interface system.

Phonepe Users will be able to make payments in the foreign currency directly from their Indian bank – just like they do with international debit cards, the company said in a statement.

“The current launch supports all international merchant outlets in the UAE, Singapore, Mauritius, Nepal and Bhutan that have a local QR code,” the statement said, adding that PhonePe is the first fintech app to launch this feature in India.
