Fintech major Paytm has launched a new feature that allows Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to use their international mobile numbers to make UPI payments directly on the Paytm app.

How this helps NRIs

• Pay at Indian shops and merchants via UPI QR codes when visiting India.
• Transfer money to friends or family within seconds.
• Shop on Indian e-commerce platforms using your linked NRE/NRO account.
• Avoid juggling between Indian SIMs or currency conversion apps.

Supported Countries (Beta)

The feature currently supports users from 12 countries including the US, UK, UAE, Singapore, Australia, Canada, France, and Saudi Arabia. More regions will be added soon.

Integration with NPCI

This feature is powered by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), highlighting India’s growing fintech footprint and the global reach of the UPI ecosystem.

Additional Paytm Features for NRIs

• Automatic spend tracking and analysis.
• Downloadable UPI statements for compliance and records.
• Balance visibility across multiple linked accounts.
