NPCI International Payments Ltd has partnered with Uzbekistan's National Interbank Processing Centre to enable UPI payments using the national interoperable QR code, UZQR, allowing Indian visitors to make seamless merchant payments across Uzbekistan.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it.
