Can I use UPI in the UK?

Yes, you can use UPI in the UK for specific transactions. Through partnerships between NPCI International and local payment providers, Indian travelers can make real-time person-to-merchant payments at select retail outlets and tourist destinations by scanning QR codes. Additionally, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) residing in the UK can use UPI services with their international mobile numbers linked to NRE or NRO accounts. To use this feature abroad, ensure your UPI-enabled app is updated and the international payment mode is activated.
