About UPI

Launched in 2016 by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), UPI has revolutionized the payments landscape by enabling instant money transfers, merchant payments, and peer-to-peer transactions through a single mobile platform. With 632 banks connected to its network, UPI has become a key driver of India’s transition toward a cashless economy.

The ministry also highlighted UPI’s performance in October 2024, when it processed a record-breaking 16.58 billion transactions worth ₹23.49 lakh crore. This represents a 45% year-on-year growth from October 2023, when 11.40 billion transactions were recorded.

India’s dominance in the global digital payments space is evident, with the country accounting for nearly 49% of real-time payment transactions globally, according to the ACI Worldwide Report 2024. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also championed UPI’s expansion in global forums such as BRICS, further boosting its international adoption.

UPI’s international presence continues to grow, with its entry into France marking its first foray into Europe. This enables Indian consumers and businesses to conduct seamless transactions abroad, strengthening remittance flows and financial inclusion.
