Qatar: Indian travellers will soon be able to make UPI payments, Fantastic news for everyone who intends to visit Qatar. In order to facilitate UPI payments in Qatar, NPCI International has teamed up with Qatar National Bank (QNB), according to the most recent development. Thanks to this advancement, visitors visiting Qatar may easily make payments using their UPI apps, such Google Pay or PhonePe.

Operating in over 28 countries, QNB Group is the largest bank in the Middle East and Africa. It provides a comprehensive range of financial services, including access to over 5,000 ATMs. Indian tourists visiting Qatar will be able to use UPI at a number of locations, including stores, restaurants, tourist attractions, duty-free stores, and lodging facilities. Considering that one of the biggest visitor groups to Qatar is made up primarily of Indians, this will significantly improve transaction convenience.
Local businesses can reap the benefits as well. Shops and enterprises in Qatar can improve customer satisfaction and possibly boost sales by implementing faster and more seamless checkout processes by accepting UPI payments. UPI transactions’ simplicity will draw in more clients and make it easier for businesses to accept payments.
