UPI’s threat has now crossed India’s borders. The UPI is offering its services in seven countries – UAE, Singapore, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, France, and Mauritius. The special thing is that UPI has also stepped into Europe through France. Now Indian tourists or people living there can easily pay from UPI, without foreign transactions tension.
Not only this, India is now trying to make UPI standard in BRICS countries. If this dream is true, then the remedy will be easy, the financial invoice will be promoted, and India will shine as a global tech leader. PIB report says that this will be a new chapter of India’s digital strength.

The foundation of UPI’s success is hidden in steps like Jan Dhan Yojana. This scheme connected crores of people with banking systems, who had never reached the bank door before. By 9 July 2025, more than 55.83 crore Jan Dhan accounts have been opened. These accounts not only benefited people from government schemes, but also secured their savings.
UPI further intensified this revolution. Village or city, people are now paying from UPI in every corner. Small traders, who earlier depended on cash, have now joined the world of digital payments. This is not just the victory of technology, but is the story of bringing every section of India into the economic mainstream.
