World UPI payment

 "World UPI" refers to the expanding global reach of India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system, which was developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Initially designed for seamless digital payments within India, UPI is now being adapted for cross-border transactions. Countries like Nepal, the UAE, and Singapore have started accepting UPI payments, enabling international users to make secure and instant transfers.

In terms of banking services, banks like Bank of Baroda have integrated UPI into their platforms, such as the "bob World UPI" app, which allows users to send and receive funds using Virtual Payment Addresses (VPAs) without needing detailed beneficiary information. Similarly, international platforms like Wise, Western Union, and Remitly also support UPI transfers to India【8†source】【9†source】【10†source】. 

For users interested in making international payments via UPI, some platforms may charge fees depending on the transfer method and exchange rate markups. Additionally, transaction limits are usually capped at INR 2,00,000 per transfer, depending on the service used.

The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), has expanded its services internationally. While UPI is not yet fully operational for direct usage in the USA, efforts are underway to make it more accessible. Currently, NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) can use UPI to make transactions to and from India by linking their NRI accounts to UPI-enabled apps if their bank supports it. However, not all banks in the USA support UPI yet, which can limit its use for people living there【17†source】【19†source】.

In other countries like Singapore, UAE, and France, UPI is already operational for easier transactions【18†source】.
