Coming home to India for the festive season is exciting. There’s family to meet, celebrations to plan, shopping to do, and a long list of things to tick off once you land. But managing everyday payments while visiting can get tricky, especially if you live abroad and use an international mobile number.
That’s where Paytm UPI payments for NRIs come in.
Paytm allows NRIs from select countries to use their international mobile numbers to access UPI and make payments in India through their linked NRE or NRO bank accounts. So, whether you’re visiting India from Singapore, the US, the UK, or another supported country, you can use Paytm to stay connected to your Indian finances during the festive season.
How to Set Up Paytm UPI Payments with an International Number
Getting started is simple:
- Download and open the Paytm app.
- Enter your international mobile number.
- Verify your device via SMS.
- Link your NRE or NRO bank account.
- Set your UPI PIN.
- You’re ready to make Paytm UPI payments.
Once set up, you can pay merchants, send money to people in India, and manage your everyday payments directly through Paytm.
