Diwali 2023: The festive season is already here, and the Made-in-India UPI is expected to be a big help due to its global expansion. In India, UPI has already completely changed digital payments. Experts believe that the Unified Payments Interface’s (UPI) growth will help customers and businesses in several ways.
“UPI is not just a payment system, it is a revolution that connects India with the world. This festive season, let us celebrate the power of UPI and the opportunities it brings for us and our loved ones across the globe,” said Amit Nigam, Executive Director & COO, BANKIT.
Shikhar Aggarwal, Chairman, BLS E-Services listed three ways in which UPI will help customers in this festive season.
1)Firstly, UPI provides a practical and safe way to make payments, making it easy to buy presents, clothing, and other festive necessities. “It is a recommended option due to its rigorous security measures, convenience of usage, and quick transfer possibilities,” said Shikhar Aggarwal.
2)Secondly, the worldwide presence of UPI facilitates international money transfers and gifts, enabling people to transact business across borders. “It allows them to stay in touch with their loved ones back home during the festivities, which is especially beneficial for the Indian diaspora,” noted Aggarwal.
3)According to the chairman, of BLS E-Services, companies can leverage UPI’s worldwide reach to reach a more extensive clientele and enable smooth cross-border transactions. This creates chances for them to reach a wider audience and increase revenue.
To sum up, UPI’s global rollout is expected to improve the festive season by making payments more manageable, facilitating international transactions, and creating more business opportunities.
