A UAE-based business conglomerate has announced that it will accept India’s Unified Payment Interface (UPI) payments across its country outlets.
The Unified Payment Interface (UPI) is an Indian instant payment system that was launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in 2016.
Inaugural Transaction at Al Maya Supermarket:
The inaugural transaction using UPI at the Al Maya Supermarket was conducted in the presence of Yatin Patel, the Deputy Consul General of India in Dubai.
Kamal Vachani, Group Director and Partner of Al Maya Group, highlighted the convenience and benefits that UPI payments bring to Indian customers.
Statements from Al Maya Group:
“We are thrilled to be at the forefront of this innovative payment solution in the UAE.
Vachani said the introduction of UPI will improve our customers’ shopping experience and strengthen the economic ties between India and the UAE.
Benefits and Impact:
He said the availability of UPI payment services is expected to enhance convenience and ease of transactions for Indian visitors, benefiting both nations.
UPI’s success in India has led to global collaborations across several countries, and the UAE, as a major destination for Indian tourists, stands to benefit significantly from such integration.
Future Outlook:
“With UPI’s proven track record and its growing acceptance worldwide, we are confident that this will pave the way for more seamless and efficient transactions, benefiting not just our customers but also the broader economy,” he added.
