Many countries keen on entering into collaboration for UPI linked payments: RBI Governor

Reserve Bank governor Shaktikanta Das on Monday said since the activation of the linkages between UPI and Singaporean counterpart Paynow, many countries have expressed keen interest in entering into such collaboration on the payments front and expressed the hope to sign up at least half a dozen countries soon. Recently, the RBI also enabled visitors from G20 counties to be on-boarded to the UPI platform without having a bank account in the country.
