NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL), in collaboration with NEOPAY and Emaar Entertainment, has enabled UPI payments for online bookings at 'At the Top, Burj Khalifa'. This expands on an existing UAE partnership, allowing Indian visitors to use India's domestic payment system to pre-book experiences online before arrival.

Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

India's domestic payment system is now an export product for reaching its consumers abroad. If you operate in travel or retail in markets with high Indian footfall, UPI is becoming the default payment method to integrate.
