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 revolutionized digital payments. Experts believe that the growth of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) will help customers and businesses in various ways.
“UPI is not just a payment system, it is a revolution that connects India to the world. This festive season, let’s celebrate the power of UPI and the opportunities it brings to 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 during this festive season.
1) First of all, UPI provides a practical and safe way to make payments, making it easy to buy gifts, clothes and other festive necessities. “It is a recommended choice because of its strict security measures, ease of use, and quick transfer possibilities,” said Shikhar Aggarwal.
2) Secondly, UPI’s global presence facilitates international money transfers and gifts, enabling people to do business across borders. “It allows them to stay in touch with their relatives back home during the festivities, which is very beneficial for the Indian diaspora,” Aggarwal said.
3) According to BLS E-Services chairman, companies can leverage the global benefit of UPI to reach wider customers and enable smooth cross-border transactions. This creates a chance for them to reach a wider audience and increase income.
In short, UPI’s global rollout is expected to improve the Christmas season by making payments more manageable, facilitating international transactions, and creating more business opportunities.
