Indians visiting Qatar can now use UPI to make payments by scanning a QR code. This is possible because NPCI International Payments Ltd (NIPL), the global arm of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), has partnered with QNB, the leading bank in the Middle East and Africa, based in Qatar.
With this agreement, UPI payments can be accepted all over Qatar through QNB's merchant network. Indian travellers can use UPI, a payment method they are familiar with, in various places like retail stores, tourist attractions, leisure sites, duty-free shops, and hotels in Qatar.
